Dropdowns from a file not using static or LF/SQLVIEW - How?

Post by dwrightgrinch »

How would I create information in a dropdown, where I had to key read (RPG) a file (the key field is from prior user input on the screen) and populate the dropdown? We've only seen examples using files or static information. We can't use LF or SQLVIEW. There's no examples we can find in PUISAMPLES.

You can bind the "choices" and/or "choice values" properties to very large character fields and populate them with a comma separated list of values in your RPG program however you see fit.

I am curious why an SQL view is not possible. Based on your previous post, it was the most logical choice.
