Basic subfile/maintenance generator for a given table_schema, and table_name

We have UPDDTA to edit individual records of a file.  We have RUNQRY for displaying all file records.

It would save a lot of development time when we can have a default built-in subfile handler for any given table.

=> Shift F8, F9 to move subfile display left of right to show next/previous fields.

=> Auto invoked UPDDTA per record.

=> Default options 1=Add, 2=Edit, 4=Delete, 5=Display

=> Default keys F3=Exit, F5=Refresh

=> Handle application specific functionality via new exit point programs e.g.

  Exit point for formatting fields before they are loaded on multi-record-view or  single record view.

  Exit point for filtering records to be loaded.

  Exit point for validations before creating/updating/deleting an individual record.

  Exit point for handling or adding new option, and its functionality.

  Exit point for handling or adding new function key, and its functionality.

Generate a runnable program and DSPF object.

50% tables just need basic maintenance routines over them, and above would greatly reduce this effort.
