Frank, Try the following code in you eep: -- FOLLOWING CODE APPEARS IN EEP SET VAR v_subtotal5 = (.v_subtotal3 + .v_subtotal4) WRITE .v_subtotal1 AT 15,70 USING '[>]$9,999.00' WHITE ON BLACK WRITE .v_subtotal2 AT 16,70 USING '[>]$9,999.00' WHITE ON BLACK WRITE .v_subtotal3 AT 18,70 USING '[>]$9,999.00' WHITE ON BLACK WRITE .v_subtotal4 AT 19,70 USING '[>]$9,999.00' WHITE ON BLACK WRITE .v_subtotal5 AT 21,70 USING '[>]$9,999.00' WHITE ON BLACK SCREEN RESTORE OFF RETURN *(END OF PROGRAM)
Make sure that your form is setting values for the v_subtotal variables. You can do it all with the WRITE command. No need to set additional variables. See www.rsyntax.com for all options of the WRITE command. You also need to include the "SCREEN RESTORE OFF" command before you return from the EEP. The SCREEN RESTORE command prevents the FORM runtime from redisplaying you form thus wipeing out what you wrote to the screen. Also note you only need one '>' symbol in the format statement. -- Jim Bentley American Celiac Society [EMAIL PROTECTED] - email (973) 325-8837 voice (973) 669-8808 Fax -----Original Message----- From: "Claudine Robbins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wed, 25 Dec 2002 19:55:17 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Subject: [RBASE-L] - Screen Displays Frank, V_subtotal1, V_subtotal2 and V_subtotal3 have to be set or evaluated first. Add a RETURN to the bottom. Then your code works fine. I tested the following: set v v_subtotal1 = 400 set v v_subtotal2 = 500 set v v_subtotal3 = 1000 set v v_subtotal4 = 2000 SET VAR v_subtotal5 = (.v_subtotal3 + .v_subtotal4) SET VAR v_1 = (FORMAT(.v_subtotal1,'[>>]$9,999.00')) SET VAR v_2 = (FORMAT(.v_subtotal2,'[>>]$9,999.00')) SET VAR v_3 = (FORMAT(.v_subtotal3,'[>>]$9,999.00')) SET VAR v_4 = (FORMAT(.v_subtotal4,'[>>]$9,999.00')) SET VAR v_5 = (FORMAT(.v_subtotal5,'[>>]$9,999.00')) WRI .v_1 AT 15,70 WHITE ON BLACK WRI .v_2 AT 16,70 WHITE ON BLACK WRI .v_3 AT 18,70 WHITE ON BLACK WRI .v_4 AT 19,70 WHITE ON BLACK WRI .v_5 AT 21,70 WHITE ON BLACK *(END OF PROGRAM) RETURN ~Claudine :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Frank Carrubba Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 8:36 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Screen Displays I hope someone can help me with this problem, I have an older Rbase application I am converting to 6.5++. This is a retail pint of sale application, as item numbers are enter on to the screen running totals and sales tax is computer and displayed on the screen as each line is entered by calling and eep.
