Hi Bob,

 

The stuff below has always confounded me, and I am staggered to see it still
included in the Qdesign reference Documentation. I first saw this in the
early 90's after being on my first PH training course and assumed that I was
not familiar enough with PH to understand it - 15 years later and I still
don't understand it.

 

In the following example, an employees file is used to develop a screen that
contains an

employee's surname and first name. The field employee-NUMBER is a silent
field that is used for

lookup only, and QDESIGN generates an edit verb for this field in the
default entry procedure.

The EDIT verb causes QUICK to perform a lookup, ensuring that an
EMPLOYEENUMBER for

the specified LASTNAME and FIRSTNAME exists.

 

 

> SCREEN EMPNAMES

> FILE EMPLOYEES PRIMARY

> FIELD LASTNAME OF EMPLOYEES REQUIRED NOCHANGE

> FIELD FIRSTNAME OF EMPLOYEES

> FIELD EMPLOYEENUMBER OF EMPLOYEES &

> SILENT LOOKUP ON EMPLOYEES

> 

> PROCEDURE ENTRY

> BEGIN

> ACCEPT LASTNAME OF EMPLOYEES

> ACCEPT FIRSTNAME OF EMPLOYEES

> EDIT EMPLOYEENUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

> END

> BUILD

 

I am sharing this with the list just in case anyone can tell me how this
works ?

I've just posted the updated documentation to the PowerHouse Web site at
<http://powerhouse.cognos.com> http://powerhouse.cognos.com 

These books should be up to date as of 3.4E/8.4E. We've also corrected most
of the outstanding documentation issues. The rest will be looked at for the
next version.

If you spot any issues, please let me know. 

Bob
