[RBASE-L] - Re: Any Known Problems With Multiple Pages in Forms? (FOLLOW-UP)

[Javier Valencia]

Steve: The long answer is that I have a table that has over 300 columns and thus I have to use an 8 page form; actually pages 5-8 are different screen on page 5 (sized to fill the entire screen), since as you know, 6.5++ will only allow 5 pages. On every page, I have several navigation buttons labeled First Page, Previous Page, Next Page and Last Page; each one runs an EEP that does a “SKIP TO xxx” where xxx is the first field on the corresponding page. For example, if I am on page 3, the EEP for the Next Page button would have a “SKIP TO yyy” where yyy is the first field on page 4 and so on. The EEP is very simple: --------------------------------------------- --skip_to_page EEP SET VAR page_no = .%1 SWITCH .page_no CASE (P1)             SKIP TO first_field_page1             BREAK CASE (P2)             SKIP TO first_field_page2             BREAK CASE (P3)             SKIP TO first_field_page3             BREAK CASE (P4)             SKIP TO first_field_page4             BREAK CASE (P5)             SKIP TO first_field_page5             BREAK ENDSW RETURN -------------------------------------------   Your call to the EEP would be: skip_to_page USING P1   The EEP for First Page will always be skip_to_page USING P1 and so on.   Of course you can also tab from field to field. I have also multi table forms that span more that one page and I have not really had problems with either form. The short answer is yes, SKIP TO XXX will navigate to a different page.

(FOLLOW-UP)   Would anyone know about issues related to "SKIP n" or "SKIP TO fldname" in a multi-page form?  Especially, will SKIP ... navigate to a different page if the target of the SKIP is on another page?   Thanks, Steve in Memphis ----- Original Message ----- From: J.
