Finally i got the result. The reason is there is no record in specific subfile

Thank you very much Phil and Tom.

You can probably remove the WRITE instruction for MSGSFC. If that’s an actual message subfile, the system will take care of it for you.

Other than that, Phil knows about subfiles. He’s right. You can’t display a subfile if you haven’t put records into it. You can WRITE records into it in your programming, or you can have the system write blank records into it by setting SFLINZ (subfile initialialize).

to add records?Seton 2526Exfmt sfc01with SFLDSP on, one or more records must exist in the subfile.SFLINZ might be used to provide some blank records.Phil

Simply,
I’m using three different subfiles here.
One is MSGSFL(Message Subfile),
Second one is SFL01(Subfile to Edit(Both Mode)).
Third one is SFL02(Subfile to Display the same records in sfl01(Output Mode)).

Initially im having one Single Record format display file.. While im calling the program it first goto the single record format, then if i press F9 there it should come to the SFL01 to add some records(which is showing the error now). Then it will save all the records on a PF.
and the both subfiles having the same indicators like SFLDSP – 25 and SFLDSPCTL – 26 and SFLEND – N30

Yeah, I thought it might be a message subfile element, too, but there’s no way to know from what we see. As for RRN, if only one record was written, it could have been set anywhere earlier, even in a D-spec. If we’re only shown a small snippet, we shouldn’t have to assume that other parts of the program are relevant. But if the subfile is written in code that we can’t see, then this isn’t a single-line subfile and MSGSFC isn’t the subfile line. (Maybe this dialog will explain to the OP why we can’t say with certainty how to fix it, because we can’t see the relevant source code.) — Tom

without setting the value of rrn ???I thought MSGSFC might be the message subfile control record.

Not writing subfile records might do it. I assumed that MSGSFC was a subfile record, and it seems likely that sfc01 is the control record. Indicators 25 and 26 looked as if they would enable SFLDSP and SFLDSPCTL. The small bit of code looks fine; but without seeing the definitions, there’s no way to know. — Tom

Show us the subfile control record please sfc01.

Your logic doesn’t seem to write a subfile record,if that’s the case you cannot turn on the display command SFLDSP. Of course you might not be showing us the piece of the code that writes to the subfile.

SFLDSPCTL or SFLDSP option required for PUTGET.

That’s the error.

You are doing EXFMT against a subfile control record. But both SFLDSPCTL and SFLDSP options are not enabled. You have enable one or both of those in order for EXFMT to work with a control record. Most likely you want both to be enabled.
