How can I programmatically tell if a form is opened in query only mode?
I've tried GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(block_id, UPDATE_ALLOWED)
:SYSTEM.MODE
Cannot seem to find the right get method.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

A form is opened in a query mode if a form that calls it specifies so, using the QUERY_ONLY query mode parameter in CALL_FORM or NEW_FORM. So, that would be a "form property", not a block property. Though, as there's no "query mode" property for a form, I wouldn't know how to distinguish whether a form is opened in a query mode or not.
I did some quick Googling, but couldn't find anything "easy". If you wish, check this solution. I didn't read it carefully, but you might.
Why do you need that information, anyway?

Thanks for the reply Littlefoot!
The reason goes back to my earlier question about enable or disabling fields on a form based on whether or not the report date was filled in.
I call these forms either with no_query_only or query_only depending on that same date field being entered.
I have a jar file that I used to either update or read
several columns from a single data row.
The jar file handles the notepad like object on my form.
However I do not want to invoke those programs unless the user can actually update that record.
Kind of an odd duck so to speak.
So if I can tell how the form was called I could conditionally invoke the java code.
Thanks,
Kevin
