Browse

[Richard Kreiss]

Many of you may know this but I hadn't realized it until this evening.

Using a header/detail po program, I decided to try displaying the po details using a browse lookup with show=only.  The details were posted to the detail file and the dummy fields cleared and the cursor placed in the first dummy field for posting details.

Tis works nicely except is take up more screen real-estate then using dummy fields or using a progressive show(ro,co) where ro is incremented by one after each detail line is posted.  The brose has boarders limiting what is displayed.  In many cases this may not be an issue.

One can make that show=only browse "live" by using and @sk = "xxxx" to execute the same browse but with a different show= option.  Today's computers and video cards will make this change almost invisible to the user.
