Quick Question

[John Webster]

Another trick to deal with undefined data like your subfile...

Write a Quiz or QTP program that creates an (empty) subfile with the shape that you want
eg for your 500-byte file in Quiz, 
>set subfile name X keep
>define field1 char*250
>define field2 char*250
>report summary field1 field2

you should now have a dictionary for the subfile  
then append your file to X and you have the data to go with the dictionary
(its a wee bit easier on non-HP MPE platforms as the subfile dictionary is held in a separate file - all you need to do is some renaming to get what you want).

Hello again,

	 I need to create a quick screen to update data. The problem is that
the file is a subfile which is currently defined as one record for a length
of cha*500, so within the screen I need to break the record up into
different items and then do a lookup on one of the items and then update the
record. I can't seem to find anything on subfiles with quick in the manuals,
so any help would be appreciated. (hp3000, MPE/iX, ver8.19)
