Hi Mike,
Oops, "qku" may be just a term we use, in 710g1 there is a qdesign statement
called USE which lets you include source statements from another file as if
they where in your .qks file. I was thinking that source statements for the
selectbox could be generated dynamically, but im sure the subscreen method
is better.

Hey Daniel...thanks for responding....I'll try the subscreen
idea.....although, I don't know what a 'qku' file is....Is it similar to the
QKGO file ?.....

Hi,
We have found the same restriction on ph 710g1 alpha vms 7.2-1. We
generally use subscreens instead of selectboxes for this reason. Have you
looked at using a qku file at runtime?

Subject: QUICK SELECTBOX question....
Hello out there.....Just a simple question this morning.....
We, here at AIG, are currently running PH version 6.09D on a HP3000
979-100 MPE/ix v6.0....Using QUICK, can I create a drop-down window using
values from a KSAM file as items on a picklist from which the users can
select.... This process is in entry mode.....
I spent the better part of yesterday scouring the manuals....The
process as is coded on similar screens utilizes the SELECTBOX option of the
FIELD statement in conjunction with the VALUES clause....i.e. I'm trying to
get away from hardcoding these values in the QDESIGN source to one which is
data-driven from an external file.....
I stopped at one point and thought, maybe you can't do this with the
version we are using now....
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated....
TIA.....Mike
