Locating and Selecting an Entry in a System i Subfile/LANSA Browselist


Many 5250 applications use System i Subfiles or LANSA Browselists to allow the end-user to select the object they want to work with.

In a modernized RAMP application that uses filters and the instance list the subfiles/browselists typically become superfluous so you will probably want to hide them. You do this by using a script that automatically locates the entry in the subfile/browselist without the user having to interact with the screen.
