Hello Arnone,

Accessing a subfile in QUICK is the same as accessing a flat file from
the dictionary
: QUIZ

>define big_field char*500 = "This is a big field"
>set subfile name mysub keep
>report  summary all
> go
> exit

: QDESIGN

>SCREEN X
>FILE *mysub

...

You will be able to access all of the fields in the subfile dictionary.

Once the screen is compiled, you can not change the subfile without
recompiling the screen, and QUICK can only access subfiles not create
them.

As to breaking up a record into smaller parts, that would be much easier
if you could do that in the subfile.  Otherwise use substring extraction
with either temporary items or defined items.

TEMPORARY T_item1 char*100 = big_field[1:100]

DEFINE D_item1 char*100 = big_field[1:100]

Hope that helps
