You do whaaaaa!!! :-)
Well I did say that splitting is not always possible. and your dirty little secret is safe with me. no one will ever know Bye Brian _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Bragonje Sent: Tuesday, 15 September 2009 10:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dataperf] Maximum number of fields in single panel Thanks Colin, Yes your first post got through. By increased real estate, I assume you mean being able to expand into the help message area? Brian, I agree with all that you said, and usually follow that path. That being said, I have to confess that I have a dirty little secret - I have a hobby. I raise and show purebred guinea pigs (cavies), and my primary breed is Abyssinian, which are required to have 10 rosettes, in expressly specific locations. I was/am trying to make a graphic representation of the rosette centers, using a 3 x 5 grid for each rosette. This has to be viewed with Courier font for alignment purposes. head ? /|\ . / | \ . ---+---+---+--- ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ---+---+---+--- ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... ...|...|...|... I replaced each dot in the above diagram with a field, A1, and then can fill any field with a character to visually locate the rosette center. You can see a photo of an Abyssinian here: http://www.acbaonline.com/breeds/abyssinian.html I can use different characters to represent various qualities of the centers: Alt-250 . Pinpoint center Alt-249 . almost pinpoint Alt-007 . slightly open Alt-079 O open center Alt-232 F slighty elongated Alt-058 : possible double Alt-236 8 horizontal double Alt-056 8 vertical double Alt-179 | vertical gutter Alt-196 - horizontal gutter These all show up correctly in DP, but not here. And if there are multiple centers I can show that as well. Ralph and Robert, Thanks, as I had not counted any possible links. I will have a link in the parent panel to the rosette panel, any usually have a reverse link back to the parent. Without any links, I have 123 fields, so maybe I can skate. Hi Joe, I agree, and I think that I tried to do that at one time. I don't remember what the result was. May have to dig around to see what I can find. One question that still needs to be answered, with the various updates that Lew has given us, what are the current capacities, as was listed in Appendix E, in the DP2.3 manual? DP 2.3 Manual, c. 1992 Data file size 2 billion bytes Records per file 16 million Index entries per data file 16 million Index size 2 billion bytes Indexes per panel 200 Fields per record 80 now 125 Files (Panels) per database 80 Report variables per report 255 Reports per database 169 Alphanumeric field size 78 characters Numeric field size 14 digits Text field size 32,000 characters Thanks folks, Rich
