This will allow you to deal with moderately complicated reports and forms. However, if you want to try and do array-handling on a screen, eg for showing multiple detail records relating to a master record (an example would be a typical sales order screen with multiple lines on the order) then you will more than likely find ISQL too limiting. _IF_ this is likely to be needed, you will find 4GL more flexible (and expensive !)
