WORDWRAP field attribute

Use a TEXTEDIT field to replace repeated multi-line input fields.

IBM® Informix® 4GL forms allow to define multi-line input fields by repeating the field tag in the SCREEN section on several lines, and by specifying the WORDWRAP attribute in the field definition (with COMPRESS or NONCOMPRESS options):
DATABASE FORMONLY 
SCREEN
{
Multi-line input field:
[f01                           ]
[f01                           ]
[f01                           ]
}
END
ATTRIBUTES
f01 = FORMONLY.comment, WORDWRAP COMPRESS;
END
With the graphical mode of Genero BDS, consider using a TEXTEDIT field instead:
LAYOUT
GRID
{
Multi-line input field:
[f01                           ]
[                              ]
[                              ]
}
END
ATTRIBUTES
TEXTEDIT f01 = FORMONLY.comment, STRETCH=BOTH;
END
Notice that the TEXTEDIT field tags in the layout section do not repeat the item tag name (f01).
