Re: Where's my Reverse field

Quoting Bruce Momjian... } } I have a field on a form I have specified as REVERSE, but it just comes } up blank. I know Informix knows about the reverse video on my terminal } because my menus come up reverse. In fact, I have some Informix } executable from another person and its fields are reverse. Does anyone } know why this is happening? Below is my form description file. } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ } } database formonly } screen } { } Summary of Client/Matter Activity } } } As-of Period [a] } } } } end } attributes } a = formonly.begdt TYPE CHAR, REVERSE; } end } instructions } delimiters "<>"; } end } To be totally honest, I never used any attributes in my form specification file. I always put my attributes in the 4GL code or used the "syscolatt" table. Can you put attributes in the form specification file? DAS -- David A.
