Re: Improvements to I4GL
Posted in 1992
To all these suggestions, I want to add one more. I would like to see AUTOWRAP capability restored to the CONSTRUCT statement. Originally it was allowable, but Informix considered it a bug and 'fixed' it, which absolutely killed us here, because in our applications here we do a lot of querying on fixed-length fields, one value at a time. The users never use ranges of data or anything else like that. Because of this fix, every field now must be followed with a carriage return in order to move to the next field. I don't see why this should be an either-or thing. It should be definable in the screen form. If you need the query window at the bottom for larger-than-field search criteria, specify it in the screen form. But having AUTOWRAP capability restored would be a godsend to us. -- *davE* Making the world safe for intelligent dance music. dave@bradley.edu. ########## David L.
