Years back I used Maintain and the For-All-Next command so that it would only draw the four columns of the table that I was interested in displaying (out of about 200 columns) and it was FAR faster loading for obvious reasons.
I am in a similar situation now, but do not have my source code from 1999 to refer to. Question -- how do I infer/compute and For-All-Next so that it only brings down the few columns of data that I am interested in displaying? I have a grid that is loading too slow.

Maintain always brings back data at a segment level, and as far as I know always has, with a for all next.

However calling (EXEC) a TABLE request, you can bring as many or as few rows as you want.

Thank you! That may have been how we did it.

A quick update for those finding this in a search, the EXEC call did not seem to load any faster. It appears the for-all-next logic has been optimized since I last used Maintain.

Shouldn't you be out campaigning or something?

There's two Americas. And I code Maintain for both of them.
