Dynamic Browse Format

[Richard D. Williams]

Scott,

Yes, depending on the method you are using.

A brw.filename is just a text file, i.e.

    *2       *1                     *95             *53 *10      *34
    Rec'd    Client Name            Plaintiff Served   Billed

Export your format to a brw.filename like brw.test, then use it in a 
system call for *clerk.
The trick is making it unique for each user.  There I would use 
GETENV("TTY") and make the export brw./dev/pts/8.
When your user exits this browse you can just delete the brw.file you 
created.

I have not done this, but it seems like it would work.

Richard
