showline
showline

The showline statement forces Panorama to redisplay the current record in all windows in the current database.

Parameters

No parameters.

Description

This statement tells Panorama to redisplay all of the data in the current record in every open window of the current database. Use this command after the noshow command when you have only modified the current record. ShowLine does not turn the display back on. To do that you must use the endnoshow statement.

Here is an example that clears the current record in the database, but doesn’t display anything until it is completely finished.

    noshow
    field (array( dbinfo("fields",""),1,cr())) // goto first field
    loop
    clearcell
        right
    until info("stopped")
    showline
    endnoshow
