What platform are you using Shaun? I sometimes use setsystemval and
getsystemval as a means of passing parameters on Unix based platforms.

Thanks everyone who replied, got it sorted out. I'm pretty much fresh out
of college, and having to learn powerhouse on the job as I go. Using
passing and receiving did the trick.

Shaun,
When running a subscreen you can pass fields: "subscreen myscreen mode e
passing x, y, z". So, it would just be a matter of defining a field in both
menus and the subscreen and passing the menu name (or whatever) down and
using it in your select.
In the subscreen you have "screen mysubscreen receiving x, y, z". Then in
the select you can code:
FILE SOMEFILE DETAIL NOITEMS OCCURS 2
SELECT IF TYPE = "1" AND X = "MENU1" &
OR TYPE="2" AND X = "MENU2"
It's nice to see people who are concerned about making applications
robust.
Happy coding!
Guy.

Subject: Passing Parameters to a subscreen
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to pass information to a subscreen
in qdesign. Right now I have 2 different users using the same quick screen,
but accessing different sets of records, I'm using the LOGONID function to
differentiate between the 2 users.
FILE SOMEFILE DETAIL NOITEMS OCCURS 2
SELECT IF TYPE = "1" AND D_LOGONID = "BOB" &
OR TYPE="2" AND D_LOGONID= "JOE"
Type is a field in somefile
Each user is coming to this screen from a different menu, anyone know
if there is a way to differentiate what menu the program was called from?
Perhaps pass a parameter to the subscreen to let it know what menu it was
called from. I'd rather not make it logon specific so that if "Bob" or
"Joe" goes on vacation, someone else can
Still do their work.
