CALL
SETCR(advance,return<,modify>);
|
- advance
- specifies how the cursor moves when
a user presses the carriage-return key:
'STAY'- The cursor does not move.
'HTAB'- The cursor moves to the next field
in the same row. This option makes the carriage-return key work like a horizontal
tab key. When the last field in the current row is reached, the cursor moves
to the first field in the next row.
'NEWL'- The cursor moves to the first field
in the next line. This option makes the carriage-return key work like a new-line
key. When the last line is reached, the cursor moves to the first field in
the first line.
'VTAB'- The cursor moves to the first field
in the next line in the current column. This option makes the carriage-return
key work like a vertical tab key. When the last field in the current column
is reached, the cursor moves to the top of the next column.
'HOME'- The cursor moves to the command line,
or to the first field in the window if the window has no command line.
Type:
Character
- return
- specifies whether a carriage return
passes control back to the application:
'RETURN'- A carriage return passes control
to the application, whether or not a field is modified. That is, the MAIN
section of an SCL program is executed.
'NORETURN'- A carriage return does not pass control
to the application unless a field is modified.
Type:
Character
- modify
- specifies whether the field should
be marked as modified:
'MODIFY'- A carriage return on a field is considered
a modification of the field unless the field is protected.
'NOMODIFY'- A carriage return on a field is not
considered a modification of the field.
Type:
Character
SETCR works like a more powerful version
of CONTROL ENTER for defining the behavior of the carriage-return key. This
routine overrides the ENTER or NOENTER option of the CONTROL statement.
FRAME entries ignore SETCR.
Move the cursor vertically to the first
field in the next line in the current column when the user presses the carriage-return
key. Control does not pass to the application, and the field is not modified
by a carriage return.
