Re: Fixes to Informix-4gl

Quoting carl.t.mosley... } } How about an improved DISPLAY ARRAY where the user can, for example, } press the letter "N" and the array will automatically scroll to the } row(s) beginning with "N"? If I am using DISPLAY ARRAY for some sort of } "browse" function or a "pick list" I would like to allow a user to quickly } skip around in the array to find what they are looking for. It is not } a good situation when I have a screen record of 10 rows and the array } being displayed has 200 choices and the user has to press "page ahead" } 20 times to get to the end of the list... } Sounds great... but what happens if the data isn't sorted alphabetically? An example that comes to mind is in a medical system that I just wrote. There is a pop-up window of languages that people have to select from. In our area, ENGLISH is first, SPANISH is second, FRENCH third, etc. I display this by using an internal sequence number assigned by the customer. Now although there are only about a dozen or two languages and "page ahead" would only have to be hit twice, how would this work if you had many rows?
