Hi,

How can I make a field display only based on a value variable?
For eg: If VV = 'Y', I want to see field on screen and do some logics.
If VV # 'Y', I don't want to see the field at all.
Is there any command to do this?
Please help.

Hi,

What version of ProIV are you on?

Are you GUI or GreenScreen?

Hi,

Yes is can be done, with something like this...

IF &$VVAR = 'Y' THEN
  FieldsTagName.Visible = False
ELSE
  FieldsTagName.Visible = True
ENDIF

FieldsTagName.Refresh()

Cant remeber if you need the .Refresh() or not....

The refresh() is not required. The visible property takes effect immediately

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler

If the goal is merely to make it display only then this might work better:

FieldName.Enable = FALSE

. Neither way is really the same as Display only, visually.

. . . or you cretae 2 equal fields (in size position etc.), one DO named 'FieldDO', the other non-DO named 'FieldNDO'. In logic you either switch on one or the other±

IF &$VVAR = 'Y' THEN
   FieldDO.Visible = False
   FieldNDO.Visible = True
ELSE
   FieldDO.Visible = True
   FieldNDO.Visible = False
ENDIF

I don't expect this to work in a paging screen, but you can try.

Priya,

U can do a tricky way to achieve this -

1. If u don't want to see even text of the field also then don't declare it as static text in Format - ID. Declare it as field and assign the value of this field in 'Logic In' of your function based on value of ur value variable.

2. If u are not familiar with tag names, u can use field skip and avoid user to access the field.

Thanks,
Sudhakar
