Answer Wiki:
About once every six months we get a question about display files, subfiles and 9999. If your question is about the number of subfile records that can be loaded into a subfile the maximum is 9999. Please confirm and we can discuss design options. Phil

In a single DSPF (display file)? Actually, AFAIK, the limit is 1024 formats; so I’d expect that finding a way to go beyond 9999 will be difficult not to mention a little pointless.

…And I see that this is tagged with “AS400 printing issue”. How does that tie in with “9999 display formats”? Can you add some clarification?

I’m just trying to figure out why anyone would want 9,999 display formats in a single display file.
