Use this record-level keyword on the subfile control record format to assign a command attention (CA) or a command function (CF) key that the work station user can press to truncate or to fold subfile records that require more than one display line.
The format of the keyword is:
SFLFOLD(CAnn | CFnn)
When the SFLFOLD keyword is specified, the subfile is first displayed in folded form. When the work station user presses the specified key, the OS/400 program displays the records again in truncated form. By pressing the specified key, the form of the displayed subfile changes from one state to the other. When truncated, subfile records fit on one display line.
Without SFLFOLD, the OS/400 program displays the entire subfile record folded where needed but the work station user is not given the option to display the subfile record in truncated form.
In the folded form, as many records are displayed as are specified on the SFLPAG keyword. In the truncated form, more records are displayed than are specified on the SFLPAG keyword.
The OS/400 program truncates subfile records in the middle of output-only fields. However, if the truncation is in the middle of an input-capable field, the whole field is omitted from the display. If this results in omitting the entire record from the display, an error message is sent to the display and the record is not truncated. Instead, it is displayed in folded form.
Notes:
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
