HELP!
I need to know how to use CRTFORM NOCLEAR. I called the hotline,
and they're looking into it, but I thought maybe some of you FOCUS
gurus might be able to help me.
I'm using a MODIFY procedure with CRTFORM's to add data to my database.
I have 2 segments in my master file definition:
"Project name" (the parent segment)
"Phase" (parent = project)
Each project has 9 phases. I'm using case logic. Case 1: project
doesn't exist yet, so add data both for project and phase segments.
Case 2: project exists, so add data for phase segment only.
The reason I'm interested in NOCLEAR
is because in case 2, much of the data for each phase segment will
not change, and I don't want to have to retype it.
Can anyone help me? Thanks very, very much!

I'm not sure exactly where your problem is occurring, but in routines
that I've written before using NOCLEAR was fairly straightforward.
An example might be as follows:
MODIFY FILE FILENAME
CRTFORM LINE 1 NOCLEAR LOWER
"<10 Enter Badge Number: <BADGE_NO "
.
.
.
DATA
If you could be a little more specific about where the problem is
I might be able to help more.

| 56.2 | thank you, Mike | WITNES::HOLT | Fri Apr 15 1988 20:49 | 15 | |
Hi Mike - thanks for the reply. I also used "CRTFORM LINE 1 NOCLEAR"
and got it to work for my first crtform, but not for successive
ones. I've basically decided that I'll just be careful when I input
the data for the projects that already exist. THAT's where CRTFORM
would have been extremely useful - when I have to type in all 8 phases of
one project all at once, and the data doesn't change much, and I
start a new record.
I finally figured out that what I really, REALLY needed was turnaround
fields, so that the old data comes up when I'm updating something.
Thanks again, and if you have any suggestions in the "Help!" I'm about
to put in, it would definitely be appreciated.
