STARTVIEW and Programming

[Eddie W. Shore]

Does STARTVIEW automatically terminate a program? If it does, the user will not be able to solve an equation and stay in a program.

I received an email asking me advice for an equation library.

Example:

Code:

EXPORT sampleprgm()
LOCAL mh, ch, d;

mh:=2;   // after each calculation ask the user if they want to exit the program (1.  yes,  2. no)

WHILE mh==2 DO

// main menu
CHOOSE(ch,"title",list of choices);

// one of the menu choices
IF ch==1 THEN
CHOOSE(d,"title",list of choices_submenu);

IF d==1 THEN
calculations and commands here
[b]STARTVIEW(2,1)[/b]
CHOOSE(mh,"Quit?",{"Yes","No"});
END;    // end submenu choice (d)

END;   // end main menu choice (ch)
...
END;   // end the while loop
