[comp.databases] Informix 4gl - help in construct statements

jw@pan.UUCP (Jamie Watson) (06/09/88)

Is there really no way to allow a user to request help while in a construct
statement in an Informix 4gl program?  This seems far too obvious to really
be missing, so I am assuming that I just haven't discovered how to do it
yet.  The "menu" and "prompt" statements have obvious help syntax, and with
the combination of "on key/infield/showhelp" it is fairly easy to put help
in the various types of input statements and even "display array" statements.
Surely there must be a way to bring up a help screen on demand when doing
something as potentially complex as constructing a select statement.
