dbaccess improvement
A user asked whether dbaccess could gain features in future IDS releases — table info, page up/down through long table lists, and wildcard table-name search — or have its source released. Replies suggested alternatives rather than changes to dbaccess: Aubit4GL's adbaccess (a dbaccess clone with source) and Marco Greco's SQSL. One practical tip did address the paging need: in the table list, typing a full stop (period) followed by Enter advances a page; the original poster was satisfied. No commitment to actual dbaccess enhancements was recorded.

hello,
could it be possible to have new features on dbaccess with the future
ids version ? may be
source code?
for example : info for table
possibility to use page down / page up to navigate in the table list.
or use wildcard to search for table name.
regards,
Aubit4GL has adbaccess - a dbaccess clone
sourcecode included ;-)

unlikely, but you are in luck! have a look at sqsl (see sig), and you will get
much more than you will ever want to ask from dbacess...

In the table list you can move one page forward by pressing [full stop][enter]

great thanks.
Okay, I'll bite: What do mean by "[full stop]" ?!?
