Informix 4GL INPUT ARRAY - can you "carry along" program variables?
Posted in 1998
Is it possible to have a program record array which is edited with an INPUT ARRAY statement where some of the program record array variables are not displayed in the INPUT ARRAY *and* the non-displayed variables are correctly inserted and deleted with the INPUT ARRAY operations on the array? I know a possible bodge is to have a long string, first char blank and displayed on screen, rest of string contains the other variables as text. This imposes overheads in extracting and writing back into the string. It's also hard to maintain. -- Peter Lancashire Information Systems Specialist, Bayer plc Eastern Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AH, UK Tel: +44-1635-562258, Fax: +44-1635-562281 Mail: Peter.Lancashire.PL1@bayer.co.uk --- My Internet plumbing does not allow me to mail and post news together.
