Hi Tony,
I have my application working well now, but would appreciate your advice on transaction patterns within the framework to see how I might make some functionality improvements.
I currently have an 'Import' function that inserts data into a table using a select (from the same table actually, but with a new key value). This all done by simply using an ADD4 transaction on pressing the 'Import' button.
I'd like to improve this by inserting a dialogue between the 'Import' button and the ADD4, allowing the user to enter some parameters (yes/no, dropdown selections and radio buttons etc.), enabling me to adjust the select clause.
If possible, I'd like to improve this even further, by allowing the user to preview the data (LIST1?) before using SUBMIT to actually add to the database.
I'm think I may need to define a temporary table for this, but I'd like your views on how I might select the best transaction patterns to achieve this.
Graham
