Display or static text

I don't know whether I'm just being dim today or what, but I can't work out how to display the second item description on a Fix/Inspect form!

All I want to do is show it as if it were "Associated" with the Item Number (as per DSC1). I realise I'll have to do some Table I/O to get DSC2 but what type of field do I use to put it in?

I've tried Static Text and I can't address the field from ER. If I use a Text/Edit field then I get a background, dimmed field, etc.

Sheesh!! I've only been developing with JDE for 10 years

Hi Alan,

What about to fetch 2nd description into a variable and use Set Control Text system funtion (Control category) to assign this value to a static text control.

HPlease, let us know, does it solve your issue? Thanks.

Regards,

Zoltán
 
Zoltan...

Yes, thanks that worked wonderfully... almost! The only slight niggle is that on the web client the "associated text" is in italics and the "static text" is not italics, but I can live with that
