hi,
Is it possible to throw an MFS or create an MFS contents dynamically? the scnario is I need to populate N no:of rows on an MFS screen but the value of N depends on the no:of records in teh database. So this can be known only during the runtime. Is it possible to populate the MFS in this scenario? If yes pls let me know how.

Thanks,
Nithya.

yes its possible in progam, screen scrolling logic has to be developed depending on number of rows you want to display on screen.

Screen scrolling - There are different approach for this.
Logical paging
Physical paging

First you need to decide how your screen is displayed to User.
Like: How many rows you need, based on that you need to handle the PFKEY scrolling in your program.
You will require to store the key of last row displayed on the screen, for this like SPA or Temp Database different methods are available.
