KURSINHALT
Get an introduction to the powerful features of Informix 4GL, a complete fourth-generation application development language. Using Informix 4GL, build an integrated application that features easy-to-use menus, data entry screens, reports, and online help, all with significantly less code than conventional programming languages require.Themenübersicht

Screen Interaction Statements
  • Describe the features of the following IBM Informix 4GL statements: ERROR, MESSAGE, DISPLAY, and PROMPT
  • Modify default display characteristics for these statements using the OPTIONS statement
The MENU Statement
  • Use the MENU statement to create an IBM Informix 4GL ring menu
  • Suggest a menu path to a user
  • Create hidden menu options
  • Hide or display specific menu options
Creating a Help File: The mkmessage Utility
  • Use the mkmessage utility to compile a customized Help file for your application
  • Understand the menu used when your Help file is invoked
  • Change the default Help key
  • Include a Help option in a 4GL statement
Forms in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Create a default form
  • Select a table for a form
  • Modify a default form
  • Specify attributes for a form
  • Compile a form
Displaying Forms and Windows
  • Display a form to the screen
  • Open a window on the screen
  • Use the statements associated with clearing windows
  • Use the statements needed to release the memory used by forms and windows
Data Types in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Use the different data types in IBM Informix 4GL
Defining Program Variables
  • Define the appropriate variables for your program
  • Understand the scope of program variables
  • Know which data types can be used to define a variable in your program
The Input Statement
  • Use the INPUT statement to enter information into program variables
  • Change the default options for accepting data entry from end users
Using Clauses with the INPUT Statement
  • Controlling the movement of the cursor through a form based on user input
  • Using the value entered in one field to calculate a value for another field
  • Invoking field level help through the use of special built-in functions
The Insert Statement
  • Take the values entered by a user and insert them into a database table
The SQLCA Record
  • Recognize the variables that make up the SQLCA record
  • Understand how SQLCA record can be used
Trapping Errors with the WHENEVER Statement
  • Tell the program that you will test for errors in your IBM Informix 4GL program
  • Recover from errors in your IBM Informix 4GL program
  • Use a compile switch to change the condition of error handling
Trapping User Entered Interrupts: The DEFER INTERRUPT Statement
  • Trap the interrupt signal during data entry
A Review of the SELECT Statement
  • Use a simple SELECT statement to return one row from the database
  • Understand the syntax for more complex SELECT statements
Verifying Data in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Make code reusable
  • Call a function within an expression
  • Verify that data being entered by an end user exists in one table before allowing it to be added to another table
  • Use the SQLCA.SQLCODE variable to see whether a row was returned by a SELECT statement
An Overview of Cursors
  • Name the three types of cursors
  • Use the appropriate cursor for a given task
Transactions in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Define a transaction
  • Use the BEGIN WORK, COMMIT WORK, and ROLLBACK WORK statements in a transaction
Using Scroll Cursors
  • Use a SCROLL cursor to retrieve rows from the database
  • Use the features of a SCROLL cursor to browse through the selected rows
  • DECLARE a cursor WITH HOLD when using transactions
Query by Example: The CONSTRUCT Statement
  • Use a CONSTRUCT statement so that end users can query-byexample
Row Locking: FOR UPDATE Cursor
  • Use a cursor declared FOR UPDATE to lock a row while it is being changed or deleted
Deleting Rows in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Implement the code necessary to delete a row from a table
  • Verify that a row can be deleted
  • Prompt the user for assurance of a delete
Database Updates in IBM Informix 4GL
  • Let the user access a form to change information
  • Update a row in a database
The PREPARE Statement for Optimization
  • Use a PREPARE statement to increase the speed of execution for a DELETE statement
  • Use a PREPARE statement to increase the speed of execution for an UPDATE statement
  • Use a PREPARE statement to increase the speed of execution for an INSERT statement
Scroll Cursors and Stale Data
  • Use a SCROLL cursor to SELECT a primary key
  • Use the primary key from a SCROLL cursor as an index for a nonscrolling cursor
Forms that Use Arrays
  • Create a form that uses an array
