informix - Can ISQL Perform forms co-exist with I4GL forms? -

Is the ISOLL form co-exist with I4GL forms within the I4GL and can use the same SE or IDS engine?

yes

There are some warnings, but the general answer is yes.

The main warning is that ISQL forms can have multiple screen layouts can not form I4GL; I4GL limits you to a screen layout on screen per screen.

The next warning is that the information in the ISLL INSLL instruction can not be used by I4GL - before the EDITADD and as explained by I4GL 'Master of Information' is not relevant to the I4GL, I4GL is relevant to an ISQL form more than the screen record information from the form. There are relevant to join and verify for joining and viewing ISGL, not in I4GL.

Tags DISPLAYONLY in ISQL is replaced properly in I4GL.

Therefore, the usual ISKL form can not be used by I4GL, nor vice versa, but the description of forms is similar to the 'core' language. You definitely have an ISKL form running in one window and I4GL forms running in another window can be used, and they both can use the same database, and can usually reach the same table, though You should have some information about the locking issues.

There is nothing to prevent from storing your I4GL forms and all of the ISQL forms in the same directory - except that, perhaps, common sense is that your ISQL users with IE4GL forms are included in the ISQL Should not be chosen through the form - so I will keep them aside so that the ISQL users can see only the ISKL form files (and the I4GL user can not see any Create files as files in te file lists - though I4GL programmers can see them).
