Qdesign selectbox on cluster field

[Martijn Nabben (Fairfax)]

Thanks Peter,

We have been able to do it a little more straight-forward, but you
definitely pointed us in the right direction.
We ended up defining 5 temporary items, that we defined outside the one
cluster that we could keep (not 5).
The entry procedure (that was changed from the default anyway) has an accept
statement for each of the items, depending on the "occurrence". And each
temporary item has its own selectbox and procedurally we simply give the
record item the value of that temporary item.

Thanks a lot!!
Martijn

Martijn:

I think you will need 5 aliases of your occuring record and 5 clusters.
Hopefully, somebody has a better idea.


FILE x DET OCCURS 5

FILE x DES ALIAS x1
    ACCESS VIA unique_key USING unique_key OF x optional


FILE x DES  ALIAS x2
    ACCESS VIA unique_key USING unique_key OF x optional


CLUSTER
FIELD f1 OF x1

FIELD f4 of X1 SELECTBOX
CLUSTER
FIELD f1 OF x2

FIELD f4 of x2 SELECTBOX

etc
PROCEDURE POSTFIND
BEGIN
   FOR  5
   BEGIN
      IF 1 = OCCURRENCE
         THEN BEGIN
                 GET x1 OPTIONAL
                  DISPLAY f1 OF x1
                  DISPLAY f4 of x1
                  END
    IF 2 = OCCURRENCE
         THEN BEGIN
                 GET x2 OPTIONAL
                  DISPLAY f1 OF x2
                  DISPLAY f4 of x2
                  END
    .
    .
    .

PROCEDURE UPDATE
BEGIN


  PUT  X1
  PUT  X2
  PUT  X3
  PUT  X4
  PUT  X5
