Re: Forms Painter or 4gl ?

Shirish Maybe seeing a psychiatrist :-)? What kind of solution are you expecting from the informix NG to the problem you mention?

Hi I am currently working on an Informix project. We use the Unix based version 7.12 along with a tool called "Form Painter" for designing the screens and a few programs not requiring excessive 4GL code. The module I am in, mostly deals with the tool rather than directly programming in 4GL. The fear I am getting now a days is that I wont soon be able to write programs in actual 4GL due to an excessive exposure to the Form Painter tool. The fact is making me pretty anxious. I want to be good at 4GL programming but am finding myself keeping away from 4GL simply because Form Painter is too simple.. Please suggest me some ways out of this predicament in a friendly way rather than taking it in technical terms. Regards Shirish
