How can i display a long field on screen.
For each cust : Display remarks. End.
The remarks field has 300characters to display. The display statement gives an error that the field is too long to display.
I already tried form and frame definitions. With the width-option this doesn't work. Now i tried with size 300 by 2 but then it show me 80 chars and scroll bars to see the rest.
How can i display the field completely on the screen without scrolling etc?
Tkx
I'm assuming that a "remarks" field is free form text and that word wrapping is ok.
define variable remarks as character no-undo.
remarks = "This is a lot of text. Hopefully enough to prove the point. I don't really have much to say but I am kind of curious
why all the down votes? It seems like a reasonable enough question to ask.".
display remarks view-as editor inner-chars 60 inner-lines 10.
Display Remarks view-as editor size 78 by 15.
Where 78 is the width and 15 the number of lines.
If you want just to display and not be able to update:
def var remarks as char.
form remarks view-as editor size 10 by 10
with frame f.
remarks:read-only in frame f = true.
update remarks
with frame f.
