Re: 2 questions: 4GL source length limit & screen redraw question

paul, im not sure about your first question on size of program modules, but the second one: 2) With ^R to redraw the screen and Informix refreshing underlying windows when one is closed it makes sense to think there is some sort of data structure keeping track of what the screen should look like. I would appreciate any information to access that structure. In this case I would like to dump the current screen to a file/printer from an ON KEY(whatever) CALL dumpScreen() type senario. yes, there is a way to print the current screen. you must first set the DBSCREENOUT environment variable to the name of the file you want to save the screen to. then just run the program and hit CONTROL-P as many times as you like. the screen images will be appended to the file named by DBSCREENOUT. regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | . .
