i have three fields in screen.
A B C all are numeric

in change mode , field C should be display only.

when values are entered in A or B , based on some conditions, C value is calculated.
C field should be no editable one.



in ADD mode, 'C' field should be a mandatory one.

This is in superlayer. How this can be achieved. i am not able to figure it out

You can set the No Change flag. I don't remember exactly how to set that in Superlayer

Boochi,

To achieve the look you desire, I would add another C field that is Display Only just before the C field that is mandatory. In the Before Field logic of the C Mandatory field place logic to do a FLD_JUMP IF @MODE # 'A'.

This will give you the desired look you are looking for. In any other mode, other than Add, it will show only as a grey, DO field. But when they change to Add mode, the field becomes an input field.

In this case how many fields appear in screen is it 3 or 4.
i am away from the system , or else would have given a try

Thanks,

To the user it would appear as 3.

But to you, the developer, there are 4 fields with the C-Field DO overlapping the C-Field mandatory.

So, you would have the following:

Field A Mandatory Input
Field B Mandatory Input
Field C Display Only

[The System Wouldn't Allow Me To Correct My Erroneous Carriage Return]

#Field_A Mandatory Input
#Field_B Mandatory Input
#Field_C Display Only
#Field_C Mandatory Input Before Field Logic: IF @MODE # "A" THEN FLD_JUMP();


This way will show an input field if @MODE = "A" and will show a grey Display Only field if @MODE # "A".

HTH,
