Re: Work With Fields -- WDSCI-L

Hi Buzz,

of course there is - I searched a while for it, and also used SDA as a last resort. But then I found, the you can just right click somewhere in the screen format design view and select “Sort”.

It works great, but sometimes - very rarely and
I haven’t found a clue why - it messes up a keyword (slipping it to the next field and generating a DDS compiler error). But it work 99,9%.

There are also options to center/align fields against each other or the form - even better than SDA, but you have to try it out a bit, to find which option does what.

HTH and kind regards,
Daniel

In SDA, when in screen design, F4 will bring up 'Work With Fields' and F6 will sort by row/column. I'm not a fan of SDA when it comes to display maintenance; I usually just go straight at the code. I also like row/column to be properly indexed. Is there an equivalent feature in Screen Designer?
