Is there a system variable that I can check to see if any

fields have been changed since a RECORD was read? I'm

using a REPORTER report to print a current record as

a "Print Screen" function, but I want to make sure what

is displayed is the same info as what is on disk. I need to

use REPORTER to print the record since I am printing a

BITMAP of an employee's picture with the information.

@RECORD and Get_Property(@Window,"RECORD") both change

and are equivalent if I modify the info on the screen,

yet the record on disk is different.

Thanks… Steve C.

Steve,

The easiest way I know of is to duplicate the functionality of WC_OREC% (from AREV) by doing the following:

In the READ event -

call Forward_Event()

Record=Get_Property(@Window, "RECORD")

rv=Set_Property(@Window, "@ORIG_RECORD", Record)

Then in the event that launches your reports -

Record=Get_Property(@Window, "RECORD")

Orig_record=Get_Property(@Window, "@ORIG_RECORD")

/* Processing that compares stuff goes here */

Don, your code worked great. Got one question for you.

Is it possible to view the value of @ORIG_RECORD in the

debugger? I couldn't find it anywhere, yet my variable

,i.e. Orig_record, did have the correct info.

Thanks… Steve C.

I'm almost positive you can go to the inspect properties option off the main debugger window and just enter it in.

Aaron,

I've looked and looked, still can't find the @ORIG_RECORD

anywhere in the debugger, although I have created it as

noted by Don's code.

Steve C.

In the Debugger menu go under Variables

Choose Inspect Properties there

In the new window that opens up specify the window name and type in @ORIG_RECORD in the Property field.

Click OK and voila! your @ORIG_RECORD is displayed in its own window.

This is how you can get any of the "non-standard" properties.

Dave, that got me there.

Thanks everybody,

Steve C.

Steve,

Sorry I didn't respond myself, was away this weekend on a mini-vacation. However, as usual, you were in very capable hands.
