Hi,

I have written the following code in "try1.4gl"

MAIN
OPEN WINDOW New at 1,1 with 23 ROWS, 131 columns ATTRIBUTE (BOLD)
OPEN FORM f_cus_gtp FROM "fs_gtp"
sleep 2
DISPLAY FORM f_cus_gtp ATTRIBUTE(BOLD)
END MAIN

Both the "fs_gtp.per" and "try1.4gl" compile without reporting any errors. When the executable file "a.out" is executed, it does not display any form.

Why is this so?

Thanks & Regards
Aparna

Hi Aparna,

The form been displayed and refreshed in instantaneous speed that you don't get a chance to see it. You need to shift the sleep line bit further, after DISPLAY Statement. OPEN Statement opens an object in the memory.

MAIN
OPEN WINDOW New at 2,2 with 23 ROWS, 131 columns ATTRIBUTE (BOLD)
OPEN FORM f_cus_gtp FROM "fs_gtp"
DISPLAY FORM f_cus_gtp ATTRIBUTE(BOLD)
sleep 2
END MAIN

BTW, OPEN & DISPLAY can be combined in to a single statement as:
OPEN WINDOW new AT 2,2 WITH FORM "fs_gtp"

Hi,

Even though the delay is increased (say to 200, 300 and so on), the form does not get displayed.

The below code is executed on HP 11. The same code works with HP 10.2.

The solution is,

Set only the following environment variables.
INFORMIXC
INFORMIXSQLHOSTS
INFORMIXDIR
INFORMIXSERVER

If INFORMIXTERM is set, then the form does not get displayed.
