INPUT ARRAY question
Posted in 1995
Topics: General Discussion
I'm sure that this question must have popped up before, but if it did I didn't get a chance to read it, so here goes: In an INPUT ARRAY statement, is there some way to cause the cursor to go down one (or more) rows without the user having to do anything? Here's what I'm trying to do: after the user hits a function key, I want the cursor to immediately move down to the next row. Here's what it looks like: Invoice Date Balance Default Date Payment Date Payment [04/01/95] [ 2000.00] [05/01/95] [ ] [ ] [05/01/95] [ 900.00] [06/01/95] [ ] [ ] [05/15/95] [ 4000.00] [06/15/95] [ ] [ ] [06/01/95] [ 1000.00] [07/01/95] [ ] [ ] [06/15/95] [ 1500.00] [07/15/96] [ ] [ ] The user is supposed to enter a Payment Date and/or Payment in the proper fields, but I want the user to be able to skip to the next row by just hitting a function key (thus accepting the Default Date). My problem is that I just can't seem to find a way to actually tell the cursor where to go in another part of the array. I'd like to be able to tell it explicitly which row is the current row of the array, sort of the opposite of the ARR_CURR() function, which tells me which row I'm on. I need a function like SET_CURR(array_num) or something. Any ideas? Also, does INFORMIX have an e-mail address? They must, but I don't know it, and would like to. Humbly yours, Mark Kaiser
