info(“noshow”)
info(“noshow”)

The info(“noshow”) function returns true if noshow is currently turned on, false if it is not.

Description

This function returns true if noshow is currently turned on, false if it is not. This example shows how you can write a procedure that will turn on noshow, perform an operation, then restore noshow back to its original state (where it may have already been turned on).

    local  nstate
    nstate=info("noshow")
    noshow
    sortup
    if (not nstate)
        endnoshow
    endif
