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];
ENDIn 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.
