I've been begging Informix for this kind of change for many many moons now. What I'd like to see is the following option set made available to us: OPTIONS MENU LINE OFF/ON PROMPT LINE OFF/ON COMMENT LINE OFF/ON ERROR LINE OFF/ON These would give us programmers full control over the 4GL screen area, a control which has not been made available to us (re: Informix documentation, if you can find it, says you lose 4 lines automagically - 2 for the menu, 1 for the comment line and 1 for the errror line). How about it Informixers? Send your input to Informix Tech Support and let's press them into making these changes available! Bill Williams Disclaimer: I am a military Toon.
