Going directly to the n line
Christophe MAUMONT asked how to jump directly to line n of an input array in 4GL RDS. Jonathan Leffler said that is only possible in D4GL or I4GL 7.30. Howard proposed a workaround: add an autonext, noentry field to each line and skip rows in a BEFORE FIELD clause. Christophe replied he only had 4GL 7.20.

Bonjour, Is there a way to go directly to a line n, not the first, in a "input array" ? (4GL RDS). Thank you.

Not very elegantly but it is possible : Put a autonext, noentry field on the end of each line of the array. Before field <first entry field> if current line not one I want then next fiield < notentry field> end if This will scroll the array down to the line you want. Hope this helps Regards H Christophe MAUMONT <informatique@univitis.fr> wrote in message news:7qnqp6$9de$1@jaydee.iway.fr... > Bonjour, > > Is there a way to go directly to a line n, not the first, in a "input array" > ?
