User SELECT ACTION processing.

[James B. Byrne]

Related to my previous message.  I am trying to discover if it is possible to
use a calculated value in a user specified SELECT action.  The example is a
foreign currency (FC) amount which is converted to the local currency (LC) when
stored and reconverted into the foreign currency when displayed; both using an
exchange rate stored in the record.

The FC is entered into the FIELD of the local currency amount and converted in
an INPUT procedure to the LC value.  A corresponding OUTPUT procedure
calculates the displayed value.

I can create a DEFINE which will give the FC value when a record is retrieved. 
However, I cannot determine how to use a value entered in the FIELD by a USER
SELECT action to compare against this DEFINE.  Is this possible?
