    query performance

    A '>' is not the best use of an index, which would cause you some slow down. Using '=' will get you more speed. To that end you want to think about a different way to accomplish your goal, by using the indexes in the best fashion possible. You might try the following: def var i as int. def...

    Reputation

    I was hanging out in my user profile and noticed that I had 30 points of 'reputation'. I was trying to find a place where accrues reputation and didn't notice anything. There was a link to a thread that I'd replied to in the same screen, but no obvious reputation comments. I was expecting...

    browse problem - please help

    First, let me preface this with the fact that what follows is merely an educated guess. With equal emphasis on 'guess' as well as 'educated'. ;) After your error statement when you can't get back to the browse, try adding apply 'entry' to bempfunc.bfcde in frame jobfunc . That would be...

    First Time Working with Browse

    I'm not SURE that I understand you're problem. But what I think you said is that you've enable fields so that the user can update them directly in the browse. But only one field in a row is currently updateable, and you can't get to the other field in the row. If that's correct, read on, if not...

    Create a file if not found

    This may be the same thing that others have said, but what the heck, I'll use different words... ;) When you check for the file you're looking in C:\unidev50. But when you assign the variable that is ultimately the file name, you leave off "C:'unidev50" and just assign it to be "HELdata" +...

    Popup Menu's

    Here's something I've done in some code that works, maybe you can adapt it for your use. But first, I guess I'm 'forced' to ask, why esc-u on the button? MY users would weird out if I asked them to do such a keystroke. Of course, maybe I'm working with the wrong users... Anyhow on choose...

    Importing excel files into Progrress

    If Chris's suggestion of a .CSV file does not do trick, you might also try checking to see if you've some stray chr(13) in the text file. I've been caught by that before and fought it for quite a while before figuring it out. You could look at the file with an editor that will allow you to view...

    CASE Statement

    One thing that I do that I ASSUME minimally reduces the overhead is to put all of the if/then statments to the right of the equal sign. such as v-fielda = if (v-test-field > 0 and v-test-field <= 100) then v-valuea else (if v-test-field > 100 and...

    Disabling symbols when CAPS LOCK is on

    Well, I get a gold star for understanding the problem. But I don't really have an answer. Just a suggestion for what to go 'fishing' for. I SUSPECT that it has to do with the key mapping in your editor. I'm not familiar with the editor your using, so I can't be specific at all. But dig around...

    Disabling symbols when CAPS LOCK is on

    Wow. I read the original question different than all of the other reply-ers. I understood the problem to be that when HE (as opposed to his users) was having the problem IN THE EDITOR. I was going to ask things like which editor is he using and has he tried either a different editor or seeing...

    Transactions

    Queen of the world?!? And yet you have time to help me with my piddly problem, I'm honored! :) Your solution is simple, elegant and falls into the realm of "well YEAH, why didn't I think of that". Thank you muchly, I'm off to modify my code accordingly! Mark

    Transactions

    Myself and the big guns (my bosses) are confused about something we have happening here. We are under the (apparently incorrect) belief that a 'do transaction' loop will prevent an 'undo' being done to a table. We have a piece of code that basically does the following; For each table...

    Enabled browser

    In a character based application I have a browse with multiple enabled columns. In our world crtl-u and ctrl-g move backward and foward through the columns. I'd like to shift focus in the columns when the user presses the Enter or Tab keys. I can get the next field to highlight, but not STAY...

    Scroll without scrolling the column labels ??

    In a character interface (which is what we've got here) I think that the updatable browsers are particularly unfriendly and use the same overlay frame technique that you did. The only way that *I* have found to move from field to field in a character based updatable browse is by using ctrl-g...

    Scroll without scrolling the column labels ??

    What about a browser? Those scroll nicely and leave the labels on top. Would that work in your environment? Mark

    Determining lock status

    MRA I (and everybody else here in IT) couldn't agree with you more about having a user hold a record lock for a long period of time. Unfortunatly the people who originally wrote our software didn't see it that way. Around here we have 'core' code which we can't modify, or even read as it's...

    How to display a record in a browser?

    Here's what I do, that works quite nicely: First I define and open the query thusly: def query q-buy for t-worki. def browse b-buy query q-buy disp t-worki.select no-label format 'x' t-worki.warr label 'Type' format 'x(4)'...

    Determining lock status

    Thanks all for the info so far. As it is I've learned something, and that's always good! The short version of what I'm trying to accomplish is this; In our world (or at least the part I'm working with) we create sales order, and purchase orders that are linked to them. When createing or...
