hi !
I want to thank everyone who sent me advice/suggestions on solving my problem.
For those who missed my earlier posting, my problem was that I could not
get a block defined on Page 3 to show even though I did specified NOT TO
REMOVE ON EXIT.
Here's my solution:
Say I have a detail block (MY_BLOCK) defined on Page 3 with no updateable
fields defined on it. To display that block whenever a certain action is done
in the master block, just define the appropriate trigger for that action and do the following:
GO_BLOCK('MY_BLOCK');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
SHOW_PAGE(3);
GO_BLOCK('MASTER_BLOCK');
My original problem was becos I did not specify the SHOW_PAGE after leaving
that block. Thus, upon leaving that detail block, it remains hidden behind
my page 1. A SHOW PAGE causes that page to be the uppermost page thus ensuring
that that page remains displayed even after leaving it.
Simple solution but caused a lot of heachaches for me !!! :)
Now... another question...
If I called trigger B from trigger A, how can I cause trigger A to fail
if trigger B has failed ? It seems that trigger A still proceeds even if
I specified FORM_FATAL or TRIGGER_FAILURE.
Anyone has any suggestions ?
Thanxs for any help ...
