Quick & While Retrieving

[Tim Cummings]

Matt,

If you think that's odd, try doing a "Previous Scroll" (I think that is the
right terminology) to go back a row of detail.  I worked with cache a number
of years ago and was amazed at what it did.  It inverts the order of the
rows and then scrolls backward.

The cache option was designed so that the last screen full of data displays
records in all but the last line - this is in order to both make it clear
that the end of matching records has been reached, and make the most use of
the available displayed cluster lines - i.e. the last records in the cache
will be displayed leaving the last cluster line blank when the end of the
cache is reached.

Once they are aware of this it is easily adjusted to by users, but an
alternative option is to add postscroll and prescroll procedures to generate
output to indicate where the current display is with respect to the total
number of records matching the search criteria - i.e. using 'info = ... now'
syntax.

Regards, Joe.

Chris,
	The cache option works great my totals are right on, but (and isn't
there
always a but) the behavior of the detail window changed once I added the
cache clause. Before, If there were 15 records I would get the first screen
of 11 detail lines and a second detail screen of 4 lines followed by 7 blank
lines. Now with the cache option on the detail section, I get one page of 11
lines and one page of 10 lines with one blank. It pages through the detail
section differently. My users are confused. They think the first 7 lines of
the second set of details is duplicate information. Is there a way to
control how the detail window pages through the data?

Thanks,
Matt Cox
