DSPFIL Device Function

The Display File (DSPFIL) function defines a program to display a list of records from a specified file using a subfile. The subfile is loaded one page at a time when the scroll keys are pressed.

The DSPFIL function also allows you to select specific field values within a file by using fields in the subfile control area of the panel. For each field on the subfile record, an associated input-capable field is, by default, present on the subfile control area of the panel design.
