One of my developers has a 4GL question:

He wants to display a screen array to the users, but the array
"cursor/pointer" must start at the last element of the screen array (at
the bottom), and not the first.

Can anyone help him with this question please ?

Thanks
Dirk

Use FGL_SETCURRLINE( num ) function where num is a record number in your program array. Combine this function with
ARR_CURR( ), SCR_LINE( ) and/or SET_COUNT( ) functions to achieve different results. This function is described in detail on
page 5-83 of IBM Informix 4GL Reference Manual. You can download PDF version of it for free from
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library/4gl_7.html

It's something that isn't an "automatic". Something that should be taken as
read. ;-)

Well done Clive, you are SO modest! Or were you implying that you are the
only Pom on this list?

Perhaps he thought he had paid the Ref enough to swing it.

I have filed a Bug for this one but don't remember in what version (RDS).
but had the promise it would have been fixed in RDS 7.30.UC7

Bug: 134884 FGL_SETCURRLINE WILL CAUSE A CORE DUMP IN THE INPUT ARRAY
STATEMENT WHEN REENTERING THE SCREEN ARRAY AFTER THE FIRST EXECUTION

We have an "automatic" here - it is called the IT department .... well,
the users seem to think so anyway ...

I found a new anti-spam package this week (running a trial version now).
And for the 1st time I don't have spam in my inbox anymore !

It is called "Inboxer", and I got a copy from www.softseek.com (searched
for anti spam under downloads)

:-)

That's not really my mailbox - it's a spamtrap account that I publish in
newsgroups. And yes, it was full of spam and microsoft virii. I used to
be
able to fetch the contents with scripts, but the site now has random
page
variations that has well and truly broken the scripts.

I couldn't use SPAMPAL, because it runs on POP3 accounts, and I work on
an exchange server - unfortunately. I tried SPAMPAL first, until I
found out I need a pop3 account.

95% of my junk
