19 CHANGED: DBEDIT()*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of having no return value, DBEDIT() now returns NIL. A
header file, Dbedit.ch, is provided to make DBEDIT() more
readable. DBEDIT(), however, is now classified as a compatibility
function, and it is recommended that you use the TBrowse object
class for constructing browse facilities instead.
There is also an implementation change in DBEDIT(). In Summer '87,
DBEDIT() knew every record number on the screen. If the user
function moved the record pointer to a record that was already on
the screen, DBEDIT() would change the current row without
refreshing the window. If the user function moved the record
pointer to a record that was not on the screen, DBEDIT() would
refresh the window. In 5.0, DBEDIT() no longer knows the numbers
of all the records in the window. As a result of this change,
DBEDIT() refreshes the window whenever the user function changes
the record pointer, even if the new current record is already on
the screen.
