4GL form won't fit on a screen

Path: emory!att!linac!midway!ncar!vexcel!alanb From: alanb@vexcel.com (Alan Baxter) Newsgroups: comp.databases.informix Message-ID: <1991Oct2.233348.27406@vexcel.com> Date: 2 Oct 91 23:33:48 GMT Organization: VEXCEL Corporation, Boulder, CO I want to use a screen form in 4GL for manipulating reseau calibration reports in a photogrammetric database. The problem is that a reasonably formatted form won't fit on one screen. What's a good way to handle this? It doesn't look like the screen array was designed for the case where one row won't fit on a screen. Should I distribute the calibration values over multiple screens and have the user use a menu to move between screens? Is there a better or more standard way to handle this? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Send e-mail if it's convenient and I'll post the solution if anybody's interested. The table definition follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $create table reseau_cal_rep ( rcr_key serial, rcr_pn char(20), rcr_date char(20), rcr_exp_coef float, rcr_cal_temp float, rcr_pt1_x float, rcr_pt1_y float, . . . rcr_pt64_x float, rcr_pt64_y float ); -- Alan Baxter (303)444-0094 VEXCEL Corporation alanb@vexcel.com 2477 55th St. <uucp>!ncar!vexcel!alanb Boulder, CO 80301
