Record form - can the single column layout be easily changed to put fields anywhere on the form?
It appears that the generated record form puts all fields in a single column of label then field.
I assume that the technique used is a table.
Can I edit the generated record form to layout the form with fields anywhere on the form that I want? I am an x-CICS programmer and an Access programmer and used to the form layout capability to put fields anywhere I want on the page. I can get a lot more fields on a page that way.
Can this be done?
If so, how hard is it?
Can it be done from the auto generated record form or do I create such some other way?
Thanks
Bob Alston

Hi fellow CICS-man, still alive? (grin, old-school).
The positional capabilities of CICS like products you will not easily find in WEB based applications. The WEB interface differs from user to user, 640x480, 800x600 and larger are commonly used.
Most WEB application will use a defined user area, made to center in the users browser.
That said, CCS forms as generated are TABLE based, rows and columns.
In the designer you have various options to insert/delete rows and columns.
Also in the HTML, you can freely modify TABLES.
Not knowing your level of expertise with TABLES, I'd suggest using one of the online available classroom-sites, after which you have the capability to add columns <TD> in which you can place your fields.
Also you can experiment with the various options available in the Builders.
Automaticaly generating row based forms is based on the Builder not knowing beforehand where you would like things placed.
Hope this helps.
Walter

PS
Things to concentrate on when studying TABLES are
rowspan=
and
colspan=
