Order browsing and privileged totals

Capability: Order browsing and privileged totals

menu1.4gl.main opens two bordered 12-by-63 windows and selects p_ordcur for privileged users or ordcur for other users. Privileged order browsing displays the aggregated t_price value alongside order fields; nonprivileged browsing displays order fields without that total. The privilege prompt sets priv to 1 only for y or Y; other responses leave it at zero. E0009

The order cursor has inconsistent boundary-fetch targets. Ordinary Next and Previous fetches reportedly include p_orders.* and t_price, whereas the recovery fetches used after reaching a boundary use only p_orders.*. Privileged display subsequently includes t_price. The omitted target may leave the total at an earlier value, null value, or other runtime-dependent value for the boundary row. E0010

The same browsing code uses both DISPLAY BY NAME p_orders.* and DISPLAY p_orders.* in nonprivileged paths. The inconsistency is established, but the supplied evidence does not show whether the 4GL runtime treats the forms equivalently in this context. E0010
