QUICK SELECTBOX question....

[Pilgrim, Mary]

Mike,
 
There's a Cognos Support Technical Newsletter article from 1992 (Volume 2,
Number 4), on page 5/6, written by Ron Olenic, which describes a technique
to make a subscreen look like a SELECTBOX. If you don't have a copy and
you'd like me to FAX it to you (sorry, no soft copy right now), send me your
FAX number.

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
