Quick and Omnidex on entry.

[Paul Kemner]

I'm having a problem with an Omnidex retrieval in Quick. We don't have a
set of manuals since Omnidex was purchased with a 3rd party package.

In the demo files, all the examples use a POSTPATH procedure, with code
similar to this:

REQUEST CUSTOMER-NAME
LET CRITERIA=TRUNC(CUSTOMER-NAME)+":"
LET SEARCH-KEY = "CUSSTOMERS.CUSTOMER-NAME;"
DO EXTERNAL OMNIFIND(SEARCH-KEY,CRITERIA,QUALIFY-COUNT,MESSAGE)
Etc etc.
The omnifind procedure doesn't return a value as such, and I assume that
the info gets put on a stack somewhere.

I need to do the retrieval in an ENTRY procedure, and get a key value
returned. Any ideas / sections of code that do this in Quick?

Here are the records: ****************************************

Record ORDERS (image master)
Item ord-key  (the image key)
Item cust-id
Etc.

Record CUSTOMERS (image master)
Item cust-id (the image key)
Item cust-no (an OMNIDEX repeating key)
Item cust-name
Etc.

And this is the screen: ******************************************

Screen Test

File ORDERS
File CUSTOMERS designer

Temp t-cust-no

Field ord-key of ORDERS 
Field t-cust-no
Field cust-name of customers display

Procedure Entry
  Begin
  Accept ord-key
  Accept t-cust-no
; If cust-no was a regular image key, I could do the following, but
;as things are I get "No key/index is defined which matches these items"
from QDESIGN.
  Get CUSTOMERS via cust-no using t-cust-no
  Let cust-id of ORDERS = cust-id of CUSTOMERS
  Display cust-name of customers 
  Etc. etc.
  End

It is my guess that I need to call some external procedure that would do
the "Get CUSTOMERS" task.
Do you have any code example for this?
