Tip of the Day: Using Enhanced BROWSE Command
Among many new features, commands and functions, upcoming R:BASE 7.1 for Windows also includes the enhanced BROWSE command. An additional OPTION parameter has been implemented to provide users/developers the ability to MAXIMIZE, NORMALIZE, MINIMIZE or even have a custom CAPTION for the displayed Data Browser/Editor Window.
The enhanced command is supported at the R> Prompt, in a Command File, EEP as well as when used in Stored Procedure/Triggers.
Examples:
BROWSE ALL FROM tableview WHERE clause ORDER BY clause + OPTION WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED
will start Data Browse/Editor as maximized window.
BROWSE ALL FROM tableview WHERE clause ORDER BY clause + OPTION WINDOW_STATE NORMAL
will start Data Browser/Editor as normal window (default).
BROWSE ALL FROM tableview WHERE clause ORDER BY clause + OPTION WINDOW_STATE MINIMIZED
will start Data Browser/Editor as minimized window.
BROWSE ALL FROM tableview WHERE clause ORDER BY clause + OPTION WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED|CAPTION Customer Data
will start Data Browser/Editor as maximized window with the caption "Customer Data".
Enjoy and make sure to have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
