Value Variables Maintenance

The value variable maintanence screen will allow scalable display of value variables and so increase or reduce the number displayed. Selection criteria can be any combination of search string, name, value and description. This will enable the user to manage the number of value varibles displayed in the list box. In addition, if the number of value variables to be displayed exceeds 500 entries, then next and back icons become active to allow the user to scroll through up to 500 entires at a time. On entry to the screen search string is blank and name, value, and description are ticked and all value variables in developer are selected.

Search string is a free format text field. Name, value and description are all tick boxes. Changing any combinations of the these fields will select a list of value variables associated with the seection criteria.

Note: On screen entry all value variables are displayed and if more 500 records are detected then they displayed in blocks of 500 records in the listbox and the next/back icons become active to allow the user to scroll through each block of records.

Note: The 500 display limit can be increased by modifying the VARIABLE &#@VIPLIMIT.
