Hi Listers!
I'm trying to figure out how to use multi-line fields in Quick. I can
define, display, and enter data into a long field that is defined as a
scrollable multi-line field, but when I try to modify data in the
field, it out and I can't see what was there before. On other fields on
the screen (non-scrollable), I press the up-arrow (not the up-caret, but
the directional up arrow), and the data re-displays and allows edits.
This field doesn't work like that. None of the directional keys (e.g.
page-up, page down, etc.) have any effect.
What do I need to do to make this work?
The screen is running on an HP3000, using an indexed subfile for now. If
I can get this to work, it'll become an Image dataset.
My qdesign code is as follows:
screen pmqshist
file *pmhistfl
title "PM History Maintenance" at 1,1 centered
skip to 4
align (1,5,15) (,25,40) (,50,65)
skip
field emp-id
field project-nbr
field date-h
skip 2
title "Narrative" at,35
align (4,,8)
skip
;
; this field is 4096 bytes long
field long-narrative for 15,60
build
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
