I'm busy with a new request where certain conditions mean users may add, change and delete records within a Paging screen. Under other conditions, they are only allowed to change records. Is the a command like @XCODE available whereby you can set what modes are allowed before entering the cycle? 

 

My other options are allowing all modes and stopping users based on said conditions with MSG's/UMSG's and FLD jumps or creating a mirror second cycle with the different modes. Both will work but aren't the greatest of solutions

Hi Neil,

 

What you need to be setting is @VMODES (Must be set before the cycle is called)

 

eg:

 

@VMODES = 'ACL'

 

Allows the user Add, Change and Lookup Mode

 

Best Regards,

 

Rob.

Please note that the values set for @VMODE remain in play until it is unset i.e. @VMODES = '' 

 

This is usually performed on the exit of the cycle the restriction has been implemented in.
