36.20.13.10—Browse Maintenance

[MPHANSON]

I'm having trouble creating a custom look-up browse using a datamart table I've created. Basically there's two issues when creating this:
#1 When creating a browse, a view needs to be created first, and when creating a view, it doesn't let you switch to DMT tables to select the correct field you want to lookup.
#2 Even if it did, our table names are so much longer than MFG/PRO's(seems there all less than 8 characters).

I've tried creating creating a browse from the progress editor that compiled cleanly, I just can't get the menu system to "pick it up". I'm guessing the file isn't compiled in the correct folder and that's part of the problem and I wouldn't have a clue if it even works.

I guess my main question is, this looks like limited functionality through MFG/PRO and if I were a betting man I bet they fixed this in an upgraded version. Do you have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello MPHanson

The programs created with 36.20.13.10 are generated as gplu901.p.
You can manually modify the program or rename it.

When you create programs or views. You have to compile the program into the following directory.

<LANGUAGE>/<XX>/<XXprog.r>

Language = a 2 character directory.

XX = first 2 positions of program name

PE: zzview01.p should be compiled like:
COMPILE zzview01.p SAVE INTO us/zz

The easiest and standard method is to compile the programs with MFGUTIL.
