Use this record-level keyword on the subfile control record format so that the i5/OS™ operating system displays the subfile when your program sends an output operation to the subfile control record format.
If you do not use an option indicator with this keyword, a page of subfile records is displayed on every output operation to the subfile control record format.
This keyword has no parameters.
See the SFLRCDNBR (Subfile Record Number) keyword for display files topic to determine which page of subfile records is displayed and when the subfile is displayed.
If your program sends an output operation to the subfile control record format when the SFLDSP keyword is in effect and the subfile is not activated (by adding records to it or by using SFLINZ), an error message is sent to your program.
This keyword is required and is valid only for the subfile control record format. Display size condition names are not valid for this keyword.
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
The following example shows how to specify the SFLDSP keyword.
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8

00050A SFLPAG(17)
00060A SFLSIZ(17)
00070A 01 SFLDSP
00080A SFLDSPCTL

The subfile is displayed when option indicator 01 is set on for an output operation to SFLCTLR.
