format x(100)

[Bjeenie]

Hi,

i have an update statement that updates a char in a simple procedure.
but the tekst i'd like to update is longer then x(77) (this is the maximum in a simple procedure by default)
when you take x(78) then it says fill-in strtext does not fit in frame in program.

is there a way that i can overide this and take x(100)?

thx!
Kind regards
Bjeenie

You may also have to define a frame to solve it.

DEFINE VARIABLE vtest AS CHAR FORMAT "X(100)".

Either:
DEFINE FRAME f1
vtest AT 1 VIEW-AS FILL-IN SIZE 77 BY 1
WITH NO-LABELS.

Or:
DEFINE FRAME f1
vtest AT 1
WITH NO-LABELS WIDTH 104.

UPDATE vtest WITH FRAME f1.
