Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1B
SYMPTOM(s):
Combo-Box SmartSelect no value displayed
CAUSE:
A combo-Box SmartSelect linked into a SmartViewer with an integer dataBase field that is defined with format "99" causes the combo-Box SmartSelect to behave incorrectly. It displays no value in the combo-Box SmartSelect.
NOTE: This behavior is only encountered with the combo-Box SmartSelect. The workaround is not necessary with the browser SmartSelect and selection-list SmartSelect.
FIX:
In order to fix the display of a valid value in the combo-box SmartSelect, do the following:
In the SmartSelect instance property sheet, change the toggle-box of the field attributes format data source to untoggle (to be able to change the display format in the combo-box SmartSelect).
If you have an integer field with format "99" in the Data Dictionary, change the format to "Z9" to be able to display values in the combo-box SmartSelect. If you do not change this display format, no value is displayed.
