Yes, PROTECT would be one way but would require setting the indicator on the PROTECT to default to NOT(PROTECT) and updating all the subfile records. But you can use the DSPCTL and SFLDSPCTL keywords. To change just the control record, set the indicators and redisplay the same SFLCTL record but SETOF the indicator(s) for SFLDSPCTL. --Alan Cassidy > On 12/15/2025 8:50 AM EST Patrik Schindler <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Helo Liam, > > Am 15.12.2025 um 13:16 schrieb liam henderson <[email protected]>: > > > Hi, > > We have a subfile with maintainable entries, and the control record also > > has maintainable entries, but is locked down. > > On function key press we allow maintenance of the control record > > I was trying to find an easy way to lock down the subfile entries on > > display without having to read through the subfile setting a protect > > indicator for each record/field > > As far as I know, each SFL row is in fact a separate record entity with its own complete set of indicators and flags.
