Got bitten a bit today by not heading Ken's and John's fine posting about the
process cycle of filePro.
Chart of accounts file - subsidiary file of month to date & year to date values
for each account for a given year.
In the chart file, when an account is displayed, using @nettle, I display all
current records.
I added an @key option to change the year so that they could look at any
previous year. However, the new year wasn't being displayed, just the current
year. After running the program with the debugger, I saw the problem,
As Ken said, when the @key finished, the program returned to @nettle. Solved
the problem by setting a flag the first time @nettle ran, changed the flag if
@key ran. Now when @key runs a popup comes up after displaying the new values
asking if the current values should be redisplayed. Work like a charm.
One just has to remember the filePro program cycle.
