You need to again check for conditions which make it Red or normal, and before updating subfile record with option as blank you need to set that color indicator as *On.

There is also an alternative to the indicator use to set the display attribute. You can specify in your DDS for a field DSPATR(&ATTRFLD). This way when you update the subfile record you will not have to bother you with how the record was displayed, it will still be as it was set in the record used for update.

Another way is to save the indicator in a work-field before you clear the option 5 and move the work-field indicator back before you write to the sub-file. Something like this:

#Inwk = *in50 // red line indicator

 do what you want here…

*in50 = #Inwk
write subfile

The indicator is not set off automatically - the program sets it off after the record is written so that all following records are not set to red if they needn’t be. One way to take care of this is to define a hidden field in the subfile record and copy the red indicator into that field when you write the record. When you need to re-write the record just copy the hidden field to the indicator.
