Subfile Record Default

To determine the default panel design for an Edit File function, CA 2E places all the fields from the access path side-by-side on a subfile record, with the field names as column headings. If the fields total more than 80 characters, the design continues into a work area on the right. It is up to you, the designer, to adjust the design until the fields are all displayed on the panel. In this tutorial, the fields exceed the panel display. CA 2E alerts you to this fact and displays the message "Design exceeds device size limits for function Edit Horse" at the bottom of the panel.
