2166.0. "ALL-IN-1 programming and FMS help text" by OKBYUS::LUNDIN () Wed Jan 27 1993 19:07

    I am doing some ALL-IN-1 programming and am trying to use the help
    text, from the form, to appear when the user hits the help key.  I have
    entered this help text, through the assign field attribute option, and
    put the text on the last field attribute.  
    
    When I am editing the form from CM, take the S(screen) image, and test
    the form, the help text appears correctly, on each field of the form. 
    However, when I access the form from ALL-IN-1, I get the error message
    telling me that there is no help available on this field and/or form.
    
    Do I need to create a help library?  I really only need the small
    amount of verbage that I already have put into the form.  
    
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    
    Sincerely,

    Hi Sandra,
    
    I can tell you why this is happening but I don't know of away around
    this "problem".
    
    Gold H or PC HELP is defined in the DEFAULT form to display help.  So when
    you enter Gold H or PC HELP the globally defined key definition is used.
    
    Now to overcome this problem may not be easy because it *could* be
    defined within the code of ALL-IN-1.  Some of the functionality that is
    provided by FMS is not always available from ALL-IN-1.  On the other
    hand there could be away of displaying the help on field and I don't
    know of away to do it. So someone from IOSG may provide us with a
    solution or a confirm what I have said.
                                          
    Regards,
    
    Sunil
