RE: DSM APIs

Hi Tommy

Did you look at the example code for the DSM program in the article?
I've copied it to http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=a98d927910 for
convenience.

The program shows a the use of the DSM API's to emulate a simple DDS
screen with an input field that has an initial value assigned.  Looking
at the code, the author assigns a field ID to the input field using the
QsnSetField API and then assigns the initial value to the field using
the QsnWrtFld API and specifying the field ID as one of the parameters.

All the best

Jonathan

Hi Tommy

I did a search on Google and it seems that you use the QsnWrtDta API,
passing the input fields handle.  There's an article and example at
http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.214a2b85

All the best

Subject: DSM APIs

I have an app that I am writing using DSM APIs.  I am creating my input
fields using this:

           rc=SetDisplayField(OrdPos:EntryLen:Row
                     :%Len(EntryName)+2:QSN_FFW_ALPHA_SHIFT:*OMIT
 
:0:QSN_SA_UL:QSN_SA_GRN_UL:CmdBuffer:*OMIT:*OMIT);

Where SetDisplayField is a rename of the QsnSetFld API, I have some
existing data that I would like to display in the input field when the
screen is written.  I know I'm missing something.  Is there a way to
load the existing data into the input field??  If so, does anyone have
an example???

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
