4GL authoring programs.

I have been writing informix code for a long time and have always copied other programs and used them as prototypes when creating new programs. It seems to me there must be a better way to do this. Are there any programs out there that will help one create a master/detail relationship into a form and create a 4GL program to manipulate them automatically? Then the program would only have to add special cases around the input statements in order to check the data being keyed. I use powerbuilder for GUI programming - and it does this quite nicely. It makes me wish I could do the same thing for the character based applications that we are often asked to create. Another nice program would be a report writer for Informix that builds nice looking reports (boxes, columns etc) to output to postscript printers. Is there such a thing or am I dreaming? Any pointers are appreciated. -- Daniel Wynalda/N8KUD/SYSOP |Consultants Connection BBS | 616-363-6680 danielw@wybbs.wynalda.com |2783 Sandalwood Ct NE | Grand Rapids, MI 49505
