Example 3: DISPLAY ARRAY using modification triggers

Database table definition:

CREATE TABLE customer
(
   id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
   fname VARCHAR(50),
   lname VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO customer VALUES ( 101, "John", "Calagan" );
INSERT INTO customer VALUES ( 102, "Mike", "Torn" );
INSERT INTO customer VALUES ( 103, "Omer", "Winston" );

The "shop.sch" schema file:

customer^id^258^4^1^
customer^fname^13^50^2^
customer^lname^269^50^3^

Form definition file "custlist.per":

SCHEMA shop

LAYOUT
TABLE
{
 Id       Name         LastName
[f001    |f002        |f003        ]

[f001    |f002        |f003        ]
}
END
END

TABLES
  customer
END

ATTRIBUTES
  f001 = customer.id;
  f002 = customer.fname;

END

INSTRUCTIONS
  SCREEN RECORD srec(customer.*);
