The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Hello,
I have an application that I inherited from a custom house. This
application is a Notes face on an existing iSeries database application.
Therefore things like the comments field directly correspond to a file
that has one record for each line and each line can only be 70
characters long to work with sub-file displays. The custom house appends
these lines using the implode function into a multi-value text field
when they update the Notes application and then use explode when they
update the native database.
The problem I am having is when the Notes user needs to create/add to
the comments field the custom house used @DIALOGBOX and a form with 2
hidden fields and one input field. The first hidden field (WTEXT) has
the following LotusScript:
NewList := WTEXTOLD + "~" + @Left(WTEXTNEW; 70);
@If(WTEXTOLD = "";
@Left(WTEXTNEW; 70);
@Explode(NewList; "~")
)
The second hidden field (WTEXTOLD) has:
@Implode(WTEXT; "~")
The editable field (WTEXTNEW) has a notation to the user that they can
only input 70 characters and that they have to re-execute this form to
add each line. This field is not multi-value and the display does not
allow multiple lines. Two settings that I believe will have to be
changed for the following.
What the users want is to be able to type as much as they want at once,
and have the application automatically split lines at 70 characters
(splitting words is OK, word wrap is not needed but would be nice) or
where ever they pressed enter.
Not having gotten into LotusScript far enough yet to handle this can
anyone provide links to some example code or care to suggest how to
change this?
Thanks Very Much.
Roger Vicker, CCP

Do not adjust your mind. The fault lies with reality.
