Scrolling Cache

[Jim Hamer]

Terry,

I share your frustration with scrolling the cache. 

I was able to solve your second concern for an inquiry screen, however, I
don't have a good solution if the screen must allow updating. The basic
technic is to pad the end of the cache with blank records to fill up the
last screen. After a blank record is added, it is Deleted so that the
DELETERECORD flag is True. This gets around the warning the Powerhouse
would put up about 'Data has changed but not updated'.

Like yourself, I added fields to the screen to indicate if there were
'...more' records before and/or after the cluster to help the user see were
they were in the cache.

As to your first concern, I want the user to progress to the next segment
of the key they are inquiring on. Therefore, I do not want them stuck at
the end of the cache, in fact the program does a Push Next to move them along.

Send me an email if you would like the code.

Jim



Thanks,

Jim
