Procedure

Open the Profound UI Visual Designer, start with a new display file and name the record format SFLCTL1.
Add an exit button bound to an indicator named EXIT.
Add two subfiles with output fields as shown below.
Set the id of the first subfile to Grid1 and the second subfile to Grid2

For both subfiles, set the properties as shown:
Select the SFTCTL1 record format and bind the following fields to the properties shown:
Save the display file as DRAGD and compile it to your library.
Compile the code below into your home library.
