Error description

• HATS displays a subfile incorrectly in cases where the header
  region is recognized using a specific color.  The problem can be
  seen using the "Work with All Spooled Files" screen on the
  iSeries.  When the option for recognizing the subfile header is
  changed from "High intensity" to "Specified color" and the color
  white is chosen the subfile header will now include the first
  data row as part of the header.  The problem does not occur on
  all subfile screens, just certain ones.
  

Local fix

• Don't recognize the header region using a specified color or
  change the region selected for the header to not include any
  of the data rows in the subfile.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The header region of a HATS Subfile     *
  *                      can include the first line of the       *
  *                      data region in the subfile in some      *
  *                      cases.                                  *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  On some subfile screens, the HATS Subfile component will
  incorrectly include the first line of the subfile data region
  as part of the header.  This occurs when the criteria for
  recognizing the header is set to recognize by a specific color.
  

Problem conclusion

• The HATS Subfile component was storing the wrong end row for
  the header region when recognizing the header by a specific
  color.  The problem was occurring due to fields not being
  properly compared to the specified header color.  As a result,
  in some cases, there were fields being stored as part of the
  header when they didn't actually match the color specified
  which caused the end row to be set incorrectly.  The code was
  changed to prevent the wrong end row from being stored by
  making sure the field was tested before storing the row value.
