SHOWDB by Ned Robinson
SHOWDB is my first OPL program. It allows any dbf file to be viewed in a
browse-like manner, showing the first 2 fields of the database. After
you specify the dbf file to view, you can scroll through the display.
The following keys are used for navigation:
Down-Arrow Down one record
Up-Arrow Up one record
Psion-down One screen down
Psion-up One screen up
Psion-Home First Record
Psion-End Last Record
Psion-F Finds the first record matching your test. You can insert
wildcards into the search string.
Psion-G Finds next Record
Psion-R Finds previous Record
Psion-O Open a new file
Psion-S Setup the column spacing for the current file
Enter Displays the first 5 lines of the datafile
Menu Displays a menu
The default column spacing is set for 23 and 14. This works fine with my
datafile that has the following format:
Robinson,Ned...........(212) 555-1212
However, you can always press Psion-S and change these settings. A future
version will allow these settings to be saved.
For example, I also have a "Dates" file that I set to 10 and 27.
05/19.....My Birthday
I hope you find this usefull. It is free to all, but I retain ownership.
Thanks,
Ned
