refresh field value

[Deskin, Bob]

You may or may not get the "expected" results. Because of the automatic
retrieval, if you do a GET F (the reference file) and then DISPLAY item
OF F, QUICK may re-retrieve the original F record. This assumes that
you're still within the same screen transaction (i.e. whatever QUICK
started when the current entry or find sequence started).

If you're going to do GETs and DISPLAYs, I would suggest trying a
DESIGNER file. No, you won't get automatic retrieval, but you can still
do lookups and displays. And if you need a retrieval after a FIND, use
the POSTFIND procedure. By using a DESIGNER file, you won't run into
QUICK's assumptions about reference files.

Is there any problems or anything to be aware of by doing a GET on the
same file F in a numbered designer procedure? In other words, in the
designer procedure I would run screen B, GET file F, display field.
Thanx Lorry.
