Subfile Positioning

Hey, Ted:

I have several RPG IV programs that display a subfile in a work-with-like display. Users enter option numbers in the option field that begins each subfile record. When a user selects a subfile record, the system usually displays another display format in order to handle the request. When the subfile is redisplayed, the first page of the subfile is shown. How can I position the subfile to the page that contains the selected subfile record?

Reader Feedback and Insights: SBMJOB's RQSDTA Parameter

In the "Odds and Ends" column that published in Midrange Guru on November 8, you wrote about appending an extra character to the end-of-character parameters that are longer than 32 characters in order to pass them through the Submit Job (SBMJOB) command without running into the problem of garbage data replacing trailing blanks. There is another alternative.
