Refresh records

[Andreas Argyriou]

Hello everyone,

I have had a similar problem recently which has an extra twist.
The user has executed a find which returns many records (this is a
single-record screen). After examining a few records they decide to execute
a designer procedure which calls a stored procedure (Oracle). The procedure
changes one of the fields displayed on screen. If I execute a PUSH FIND
(invisible to the user) I can display the field that has changed. However, I
will interrupt the original find chain and when the user presses next record
the program will behave as if the original find chain had ended.

I don't think there is something that can be done about it.

What I decided to do was to use a temporary item that will carry the value
of the field that changes and to maintain it using a designer alias for the
primary file. This way I will avoid the PUSH FIND. Fortunately the specific
screen does not perform any other actions.

Any comments are welcome.

TIA and regards

Hi list,

is there a way to refresh records shown in a Quick screen, after they are
updated by an other program (say, a QTP), without doing a find again ?

(Powerhouse  7.10.G3, OpenVMS V7.2-1)

TIA, regards,

Markus
