RE: Is it possible in RPG to display a window when user tab to a field?

Mark,

Our process engineering department wanted to know whether it is possible to do or not in RPG. Our practice is to press F4 key to display a window. I was just checking if anybody in the RPG world is doing this kind of stuff in their shop. Thanks for your and others input.

Shaleen:

Even if you could do that, why would you want to? That would be a very bad design, from a "human factors" usability perspective, IMHO.

I would find it extremely annoying if a window popped up, when I was just tabbing through some fields ... =-O
