Summary

Important Observations

• The Table Layout manager can be applied to the web page and any container such as a tab sheet or panel.

• Selecting a setting on the Layout ribbon for a control, adds a 1 x 1 table to the container, if necessary.

• Srvroutines have XXXX_MAP statements defining data to exchange as a field, a working lists or a Group_By.

• The SELECT command retrieves a group of records based on all keys or a number of keys, optionally using generic logic and can also read the table using a start key or backwards.

• The Tab Folder is a good way to present a lot of information on one web page.

• The Server Module generates Find routines for the physical and all logical files.

• In the Design view, select a list column by clicking on the column heading, on the Outline tab or on the Details tab, from the components dropdown.

• In the web page, pass key values into a data retrieval method to preserve its value while asynchronous data retrieval takes place.
