Tutorial Chapter 9: Record list with direct update

This program uses the INPUT ARRAY instruction, that allows the user to edit a list of records quickly.

The INPUT ARRAY instruction is useful in cases where the edition of the record list must be fast, as it works always in edit mode: The edit cursor is always in a field, ready to modify the value. The user does not need to fire append, insert, update or delete actions to enter in edit mode. However, programming an INPUT ARRAY that updates the underlying database table during the dialog execution is more difficult to program than a DISPLAY ARRAY with modification triggers.
