DCGET GETSIZE

#1 Post by Cliff Wiernik »

I use a DCGET in a bBlock codeblock to often display a description for various data field values. The descriptions are defined in arrays and may have varying lengths. I had been using the GETSIZE clause to specify the field length for the display value like GETSIZE 14. That works fine. I am using the same font as a normal get field. However, when it displays on the screen the height of the field represented by using GETSIZE 14, without a height character, is slightly different the the field with the field get itself, which sizes are autodetermined by Express. Is there some way to specify the GETSIZE width but have EXPRESS automatically correctly determine the height of the field so both the DCGET for the field and the DCGET for the editprotect description with the GETSIZE 99 are both the same height.
