Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

Logical choice box

You call this procedure in Results from within your user file using the following code:

RUN s-box.p (INPUT-OUTPUT logicalvariablename, "String expression for first (true) box", "String expression for second (false) box", "String expression for text at top of box").

Where the character expression is the text you want displayed in the error message box. For example, after you define a logical variable, you can call this procedure. Include the name of the logical variable in the procedure. Also, include text strings for the first choice, the second choice, and the text that appears at the top of the box. For example:

RUN s-box.p (INPUT-OUTPUT qbf-l, ?, ?, "Do you want to over-write the existing report?").

If you use a question mark (?) as the character string for the first box and second box, the boxes default to yes and no values. You can include text strings, such as ENABLE and DISABLE or ON and OFF.

For example, this code produces the logical choice box shown in Figure 10–1.

Figure 10–1: User interface generated on code input sample

The initial value of the first parameter to INPUT-OUTPUT sets the default choice. For example, if the value of the first parameter to INPUT-OUTPUT is true, the highlight bar rests on the left option (the true value). If the first parameter to INPUT-OUTPUTis false, the highlight bar rests on the right option (the false value).
