I have two problems in 4gl programming: machine: SIEMENS MX500 (multi(6)-processor NS 32532 ) INFORMIX 4GL, INFORMIX ONLINE 1. Using 'display array' I want to show the current line with an attribute. pe. highlighted, inverse, ... But I don't see any easyly programmable possibility. INFORMIX in the tbmonitor ( informing about databases or tbspaces) shows this facility. 2. I am programming a patient's information system and I have some tables which are to big to use the standard display array option: define xx array [n] of record like yy.* declare cursor ..., foreach .. into xx[i].*, ... display array xx .... How to write a "window to the table" ? Thanks for your help and excuse my bad english Dieter Becker
