==== Delete Process for Collector (AREV Specific) ====

<QUOTE>
I am wrote a program that calls a collector.  In this collector, I would like to have an alt-D process.  When the alt-D process is invoked, I would like it to automatically exit the collector and inform the original program that the user ran the alt-D process.



So far, I have written the original program.  I have created the collector.  I have redefined the alt-D key using @PRIORITY.INT and @MACRO.KEYS.  When I am in the collector and press alt-D the delete trap program runs (it prompts me to press alt-D again - my message, not the default AREV message).  It blanks out the record and it automatically returns to the calling program.  However, back at the calling program, @PSEUDO is populated with the same data that was passed to the collector before I called the collector and I want it to be blank to indicate that the record was deleted.



In my delete trap program I set @RECORD to "", but this is again reset by the window processor before returning to the original calling program.  In my delete trap program I set:



         @RECORD="   ;* I want the record blanked out

         WDONE=1      ;* This makes the screen close

         DATA ""        ;* Kicks the window processor into action



Is there another common variable to set?  I've tried RESET with most numbers from 1 to 10, but it doesn't do what I want.  I know that I can use @USER0 and set it to "THE RECORD HAS BEEN DELETED", but I consider that to be messy.  Any suggestions on a better solution?

<QUOTE>I haven't tried messing with @Priority.Int in a collector. I would suggest, however, to try modifying @PSEUDO directly instead of through @RECORD if you can't get your macro key to work.

<QUOTE>Try playing with the save and exit options of the collector.  You can probably check something there.

<QUOTE>what about clearing wc_orec%? It might be that the ;window "knows" the record has been changed (okay, deleted), and maybe you have disabled the exit confirmation message.Then logically, it should not return an empty @pseudo. If this is the case, clear orec and @record, and that might do it. You may not need to set wc_reset% since it should fully reprocess everything before exiting and you don't want a display change. If that still fails try nullling @pseudo in the window too.
