Hi Sean: > >Does anyone know how to start an INPUT ARRAY statement on any other >line other than the first? > >An example of what I'm trying to do is have the cutrsor start on the >first blank line of an array, allowing the user to immediatly start >entering new lines AND be able to scroll back to see existing lines. > This is the way I would handle this problem: First your input array statement needs a noentry column at the end. Upon entering the array in the before row check if a column in the array (typically the first) is not null; if it is, 'next field' to the noentry column which forces you to the next row of the array. This will continue until you hit a null field. two things: If your array is very large you may see screen flicker. Sorry! can't help you there. Make sure you trap for the array being filled upon entering it, or it's probably infinite-loop-city for you. regards, ed schaefer jetech data systems
