Custom Screen Button to call a Proc

Julie Carmody (Past Member)

I am creating a Custom Screen and would like a button that would call a proc I write.  I see buttons can have actions but it isn't clear to me which one is to run a Proc.  Is that possible and if it is how?

Many thanks in advance for your help!!

    That’s unfortunately the way Infomaker (and PowerBuilder) datawindows work.  Once a sub-report has been added, the entire datawindow is put into a readonly mode.  You can’t have a sub-report in an editable (read:  interactive) datawindow. 

     

    You could do this in SSRS in a browser based screen using URL links to separate reports.

    Hey Ryan,

    Thanks for the Reply...

    So I am having some trouble trying to implement a custom tab that allows a user to select a value and has a subreport of data set below it.  When I try to add a sub report it converts the custom Screen to a report.  Any ideas on how to show a table of data with the ability to set a value?  Or should I go down the path of the browser screen?

    Thanks so much for your thoughts?

    That is not possible using an Infomaker based custom screen.  A browser based custom screen (web app) would be suited for this type of customization.
