text box fields not relating to a datasource

[dzimmerman]

I have a form with a part # field, i want the user to enter the part number, call my helper rpg program and return the description...The description is not in the datasource as it is not known at the time..

As of right now the only option is to add an inline calculation to your data source result set.

For example "descript"

SELECT
  orderno,
  status,
  cusno,
  shpaddr,
  shpcity,
  shpstate,
  shpcntry,
  shpzip,
  schdate,
  '          ' AS descript
FROM
  demoord_h
ORDER BY
  schdate

thanks that was my alternative solution.
