Hi,
need to create a maps to include records
when I program with maps
how do I get data from a file to the map?
eg
include registration of carriers
and registration required carriers to the region it serves
carriers is a file
region is a file
Did you take a look at the Natural map editor documentation about inserting fields ?
I know this tutorial.
I do not know is how to take the data from the natural to the map.
FILE 4: Customers
code
name
address
city
seller code
FILE 5: Seller
Seller code
Seller name
I need to map customer
select the seller
This would be the relationship:
Customers.Seller_Code → Seller.Seller_code
Not really sure what your problem is
- Reading Seller via Customers.Seller_Code
- Displaying Customer + Seller information
'll get there
I’m creating a map to include a new customer
when include a customer (in map)
must provide a list of seller (in map)
for that 1 is selected
I think that should be the 1) Reading Seller via Customers.Seller_Code
Hello everybody.
If anyone can help me I appreciate it.
I can not make the exchange of information between the program and the natural map (with Adabas).
I’ve read a tutorial in the documentation that makes a little integration between them,
more in this tutorial there is no shipping
program data for the map.
Is there any other tutorial on this subject?
A simple example of what I do.
Program → Map
Map want a field to ask the customer code (Ok)
Map → Program (with the Customer Code) OK
Program → Read
Read adabas / file and find data (Ok)
Program → Map
Sent data (the adabas / file / find) (?)
Map → display data (received from the program) (?)
If anyone can help me I appreciate it.
I have to thank Wolfgang that has helped me.
Well, Claudio, it is NOT that hard:
** Example READ-MAP
DEFINE DATA LOCAL
1 MYVIEW VIEW OF EMPLOYEES
2 NAME
END-DEFINE
*
READ (1) MYVIEW BY NAME
END-READ
input using map ‘MYMAP’
END
**
Where MYMAP looks as follows:
- MAP2: PROTOTYPE VERSION 820 — CREATED BY NAT 0802020003 —
- INPUT USING MAP ‘XXXXXXXX’
-
EMPLOYEES.NAME
DEFINE DATA PARAMETER
1 EMPLOYEES.name (A030)
END-DEFINE
FORMAT PS=023 LS=080 ZP=OFF SG=OFF KD=OFF IP=OFF
- MAP2: MAP PROFILES ***************************** 410********
- .TTAAAMMOO D I D I N D I D I ?_)¬&:+(
- 023079 N0NNUCN X 01 D22KUHM NL
INPUT ( IP=OFF
010T ‘This is a NAME field’
033T EMPLOYEES.NAME (AD=MILT ) /*.99V030 A030
/**A1000020000100001000010000100001100001001001000001000HV
/

END
Perhaps, it looks a bit confusing, but you just need to try all of this on your own since it is VERY EASY - just follow the NATURAL HELP exercises…
Best of luck
Hi Nikolay,

I create a map that will have the field name:
A) I better create field by import a DDM or;
B) I better create field by importing the program?
after create field in map: where do I put this source code?
Modify the map and STOW it to generate an “executable” object. It’s a bit cleaner (less confusing) to paste fields from the calling routine, rather than from a DDM. Fileds are passed between your program and the map in a parameter list, just like in a subprogram call (CALLNAT), so all fields on the map should be available in the calling routine.
In the program, use an INPUT USING MAP ‘map-name’ statement to create the linkage to the external map.
I’m almost there!
a question:
- I want to first ask the customer code
- then back to the program
- I read the customer file
- and then show on map customer data (name address)
Should I make two maps?
-
One Map to request for the customer code (map with only code field)?
-
Another Map to display the data (code, name, addres)?
Well, Claudio, you may use only one map with all of those fields on it. When there`s still no CUST-CODE entered, the customer info is blank; as soon as you got any VALID data (cust-code), the map would show it (the customer info, I mean)
Single-function programs and maps can seem simpler to code, but most production applications are built with multi-function models. (Natural Construct does this very well.) With program logic, you determine the user’s mode: retrieve, add, update, delete. Then, using Control Variables, you open or close the appropriate fields on the map. For example, in Retrieval mode, only the key fields are modifiable, the remaining fields are protected (display-only).
To create a multi-function program from scratch is very time-consuming, but once the kinks are ironed out, it’s fairly easy to create new on-line functions by cloning the master copy.
I like blocking map
for he only accept the PF10 for example?
Now if I press ESC, ENTER, PF7, etc.
it closes the map
I discovered my mistake.
I asked for the customer-code with the input map
I read a file / adabas
and used the reinput. but reinput does not update the data in map.
Take a look at REINPUT FULL.
and SET KEY for the keys…
as I block the ESC in map?
Hi.
In runtime,
if user check “read”
how to make a field read-only in map (without possibility of update) ?
The field is input not protect in map/editor.
What about “O” (Output field, protected) ?
I found this information
But I just do not know how to put it into practice
tried so most of the error
input (ad=o) using map ‘map2’
How can I draw the map with some protected field
or draw a map with all unprotected?
