- Excuse this first question if it was sent out before, I think I made
- a mistake and did NOT get it out....
-
- 1) Is there a limit on the # of source lines in a 4GL? I know there is a
- 32Kbytes limit on functions. I was asking if there was a hard limit at
- say 20K lines of source or maybe a Kbyte limit.
-
- 2) With ^R to redraw the screen and Informix refreshing underlying windows
- when one is closed it makes sense to think there is some sort of
- data structure keeping track of what the screen should look like. I
- would appreciate any information to access that structure. In this case
- I would like to dump the current screen to a file/printer from an
- ON KEY(whatever) CALL dumpScreen() type senario.
-
- Thanks
-
- Paul
