[RBG7-L] - Re: Displaying Running Counts

[David M. Blocker]

Dan   You should be able to get from Razzak (in his PROPERTY samples) some programs called MeterForm01.RMD - through MeterForm04.RMD with associated forms that give a slick effect with % done and a progress bar.   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 10:16 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Displaying Running Counts In Previous versions of rbase when using a declare cursor command to update rows I would set a variable to count down the progress of the update. To display it I would use the write command.  The only way I have found in the new version to display a running count is to use the pause 3 command.   IE: set var i=1 set var vrows=rows in audience fetch cursor1 into vcomboid,vdaypartid while sqlcode <> 100 and (lastkey(0))<>'[esc]' then   set var vmess=('Updating Arbitron Dayparts'+(CHAR(013))+(CHAR(013)))   set var vmess=(.vmess+'Row '+(ctxt(.i))+' of '+(ctxt(.vrows)))   pause 3 using .vmess   set var i=(.i+1)   fetch cursor1 into vcomboid,vdaypartid endwhile closewindow   This works but I�m wondering if anyone knows of a better way to accomplish this.   Thanks Dan
