SFLLIN (Subfile Line) keyword for display files

Use this record-level keyword on the subfile control record format to specify that the subfile is to be displayed as a horizontal subfile (having more than one column of records displayed).

The format of the keyword is:

SFLLIN(spaces)

The parameter value specifies the number of spaces (including attribute characters) between columns of records.

For example, specifying the SFLLIN keyword causes a subfile of four records to be displayed as:

REC1    REC3
REC2    REC4

If SFLLIN is not specified, these records appear as:

REC1
REC2
REC3
REC4

If the subfile record format contains field selection, this keyword is not valid.

To use SFLLIN for secondary display sizes, specify a SFLLIN keyword with a display size condition name for each secondary display size.

Because the SFLPAG keyword specifies the number of subfile records that can be displayed at a single time, you must consider SFLLIN when specifying the SFLPAG value.

SFLLIN is not valid for a message subfile.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.

Example

The following example shows how to specify the SFLLIN keyword. Columns of subfile records appear five spaces apart.
