Re: VARPG Was: RE: George Farr declares featurespecificpricingonhorizonfor WDSC

Yep, using those attributes Barry mentioned.
With our latest development we haven't dealt with graphs, though I know
our other developer has done some.  I'm still fairly new to it and
currently don't have my development time allocated to VARPG - but soon,
and I'm looking forward to it.

I am not sure what you mean by "Print screen", but if what you mean is
to print the data in the screen I would have to use O specs and print to
the local PC printer.

I couldn't begin to print a true print of the monitor screen.   That has

to be a new feature?

Gosh it is heartening to read that someone has started using VARPG. 
Have you used the graph part yet, where you present the customer's sales
  history (or some other comparative) as a graph, yet?  The first time I
did that I got an argument that the graph was wrong.  When it turned out
the graph was right the manager involved said "Our department did
that?!?!" and she immediately asked for, and got, a large raise. 
Something about seeing her departmental growth rates as a graph made
people realize the job she had done was in fact spectacular.

We've been moving most large projects toward VARPG since we see many 
benefits in it, and one huge one being end-user satisfaction.  I was 
concerned with going down the path of VARPG vs another language (one 
that would take more time to learn) but Mr Farr assured me of VARPG's 
continuing existence and development.  And from a link posted in an 
earlier thread, it appears to me (and this is just my translation) 
VARPG will either be replaced (with something similar) or receive some

kind of change in the near future.  Essentially the IBM page did not 
refer to VARPG as deprecated, only CODE, which I personally see as a

good point.

I'd love to develop VARPG in WDSCi, not in editor that gets no 
attention.

Booth, in all your time with VARPG - do you know how to print screen

and

include the title bar?   (I'm working on getting set up with the
newsgroup, just hasn't happened yet.)

VARPG has been deprecated along with CODE.  We have one application 
written in it that works fairly well, but we're well aware that we 
need to consider long-term options for replacing it.  I certainly 
wouldn't advise writing anything new in it.

:)...  somebody start using VARPG!!!   It works, and you deliver the
finished product while the VB guys are still making their amendments 
to the design.

I can see where you are coming from.  Thanks for clarifying.  I 
would

also be miffed.
