SFLLIN does not appear to convert correctly.

According to the Knowledge Base, the DDS keyword SFLLIN is supported.

When I convert a display file with SFLLIN = 2 it displays a single set of columns instead of two sets. SFLSIZ = 32, SFLPAG = 32. How do I get it to show as two sets of columns?

SFLLIN is not supported. The converter will translate them into subfile records with 1 column.

These would need manual modification after conversion -- the display could be adjusted to use 2 subfile grids to get a similar effect.

Our DDS keyword support list shows it as being not supported here:

Where did you see that it was supported? We'd want to look at that to make sure it's accurate.

After further discussion here, I've found that we actually consider this one to be "partially" supported.

It does look at the keyword to determine how many records to display on a page, and also to determine what space on the screen is taken up by the subfile for OVERLAY processing.

But, the subfile records will display in just one column and manual adjustment would be needed to get the original layout -- through multiple subfile grids.

We've adjusted our keyword support page at the URL above to clarify this.
