I have a "user friendly" issue related to the RGF screens. Unless I remember, I tend to hit a return after the last entry but the system wants "enter". This causes some error messages which leaves me wondering how far I have to back up to generate the report again. Also, the system doesn't really give good solid feedback when you have generated a report. It would work better for me if we could do RETURNS all the way down through the screen until all of the inputs were completed, and then if you did any unnecessary returns , the system could just tell you do an ENTER or ^Z to generate the report. Then a message could come up saying that a report has been generated.

Hi Dennis, An ENTER signifies 'finish action' and commits a request to the database. If the reports worked the same way the screens do and committed an inquiry after going past the last field, the user would have no chance to correct errors. It would also take away the ability to submit multiple requests with the use of INSERT RECORD HERE. In the meantime, I will look into the possibility of sending a message to the screen in RGF that a report has been submitted. cb |
