Par2: Multiple locator fields (II)
1998-10-21 -- Charles Bolland
 
(Also see related article by Dennis Evans)

I had trouble with the below code until I set my Extension to Step rather than an 
Entry field for the locator.  I have included my reference that I will use for future 
multi locator fields. I have even been able to add as many as three locator fields
with Dennis Evan's routine.

Create Two Local Varibles in the DATA

Loc:FirstField
Loc:SecondField

First create a Routine and Place it into the Procedure Routine Embeds.


FINDIT  ROUTINE
IF LOC:FirstField
  DAT:FirstField = LOC:FirstField
      IF LOC:SecondField
    DAT:SecondField = LOC:SecondField
         Brw1.ResetFromBuffer()                   !BRW1 is the name of
the Browse.    ResetfromBuffer
   END                                                       !is a
build in Procedure.
    END!IF
   EXIT



Control Event Handling first field

      IF LOC:FirstField
         IF LOC:SecondField
        do findit
       select(?loc:SecondField)
       end
     End


Control Event Handling Second Field

       IF LOC:SecondField
    IF LOC:FirstField
     DO fINDIT
ELSE
SELECT(?LOC:FirstField)
  end
   END

Note: Set extension locator to Step.
