In RBASE for DOS I frequently use the command: QUERY * FROM table_name ORDER by column_name ASC
from within an application. It brings the QUERY screen in which I can modify the WHERE clause, add tables and so on and the move to the BROWSE screen with the <F2> key... or else I use the command: QUERY * FROM table_name ORDER by column_name ASC EXECUTE Which brings the browse screen from which I can move back and forth to the QUERY screen by using the <CTRL><F3> and <F2> keys; this allows the user to modify the WHERE clause, add tables and save it as a view. I have tried to do the same in WINDOWS RBASE 6.5++ without luck. If I use the QUERY command within an application, it flashes IN and OUT quickly and continues to the next line of code. When I use the BROWSE command instead of QUERY, I get the BROWSE screen but I am unable to get to the QUERY screen to change the WHERE clause or add tables, etc and I am stuck with the original WHERE clause as the BROWSE and QUERY icons are not visible for within an application. I have tried all the key combinations to move between the BROWSE and QUERY screens with no luck. This feature was particularly popular and useful to users, as they were able to create complex queries and save the results as views from within the application without having to deal with the R Prompt. Does anyone have a workaround to get the same functionality of DOS in the Windows environment? Also, what ever happened to the PROMPT command? It as very easy to use a command line such as: PROMPT SELECT from within an application and the system would guide the user through the options and then run the command; again, a very useful command no longer available in Windows. Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated. Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.
