Subscripted form fields
Subscripted form fields must be located and redefined when moving to Genero BDL.
IBM® Informix® 4GL forms can define subscripted
fields with multiple field definition entries in the
ATTRIBUTES
section,
each defining a piece of the data displayed by the field, as in
this example:DATABASE stores
SCREEN
{
1234567890
[f01 ]
[f02 ]
}
END
ATTRIBUTES
f01 = customer.cust_name[1,10];
f02 = customer.cust_name[11,20];
END
In the ATTRIBUTES
section, the name of the field
is immediately followed by a subscript specification defining the
piece of sub-data the screen tag displays and allows to input.
This feature is not supported by Genero BDL, all fields must be defined as a whole.
