- Situation:
-
- You have menu MENU01 which has option #1 calling FORM01 in "data entry mode".
- You want option #2 menu MENU01 to call FORM01 in query-only mode (
- ie. CALL_QUERY).
-
- Solution:
-
- Have option #2 run a FORM02, which in-turn does a CALL_QUERY
- to FORM01 and then does an EXIT_FORM. This can be accomplished in a
- KEY-STARTUP trigger or possibly a PRE-FORM. Try it an see.
