TAILORING AN APPLICATION
Providing a Tabular Format
Providing a Tabular Format
If you want to display several records within a box, you can
enhance the appearance of the screen by providing a tabular
format for the box. Consider, for example, the "employee-info"
application. Since one employee record can match (have the same
join-field value) several dependent records, you might want to
provide the ability to display several dependent records at one
time. You can specify a tabular format for "depends-box" (the
box that represents the dependent records) by including the
following commands that describe this box:
SET BOX SCREENFORMAT COMPRESSED
SET BOX HEADINGS NULL
SET BOX SIZE 5
SET BOX BOXTITLE 1 "Valid values for Rel are either S or C."
SET BOX BOXTITLE 3 "*No. Dependent Name Rel"
Notice that the value of the BOXTITLE 1 attribute supplies user
information while the value of the BOXTITLE 3 attribute supplies
screen labels for "depends-box."
Figure 6-9 shows the final customized screen displayed by
"employee-info." This figure also shows the preceding ENABLE
commands within the series of commands used to generate the
application.
