subfile in WHILE RETRIEVING?

[Richard Witkopp]

That's what I was doing - sequential access and INFO statements to
verify. I didn't have RESPONSE, but the INFO NOW works in other parts of
the program.

Code fragments:

FILE    *MYGOOD_SUBF       DESIGNER
.
.
        WHILE   RETRIEVING MYGOOD_SUBF
                BEGIN
info = "while retrieve " + ascii(field_1 of MYGOOD_SUBF) now

You should be able to. Remember to access it appropriately - via an
index 
if it's an indexed subfile or sequentially otherwise. As a simple test,
I 
was able to access a subfile sequentially on Windows. To test it, put an

INFO NOW RESPONSE into the WHILE RETRIEVING loop and display an item 
value.

Can I use WHILE RETRIEVING on a subfile in Quick? I have a manual that 
implies that I can, but it is for HP I think, and we are on VMS 8.40.E.
I 
declared it as a designer file and I got no errors when I compiled it. 
However, it also doesn't seem to retrieve any records.
