Processing to run against each highlighted line of a browse lookup

[Richard Kreiss]

The suggestion to use an array for the records is a good one. you could loop through the array by incrementing the array index #.  Suggest you do a looup to the record using the record number.  This will insure that the correct record is being updated.

The other thing you could do is use drop to execute your lookup and update.

Your third choice would be use drop to loop back through the browse and use Pushkey ["CDWN"] to move the highlight down one line.

I think the array would be the easiest to program and insure that your processing does each element in the array.. Just make sure you dim the array to handle all possible records that will be found.  I have an array set to 5000 as my client add records that fill this arry,  I was told that all I would need was a maximum of 600 records to be looked up.  Actually this has grown over time (15 years).  I expanded it to 5000 as I don’t think I will need to expand the array again.
