ROW() Return the screen row position of the cursor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax ROW() --> nRow Returns ROW() returns the cursor row position as an integer numeric value. The range of the return value is zero to MAXROW(). Description ROW() is a screen function that returns the current row or line position of the screen cursor. The value of ROW() is updated by both console and full-screen commands and functions. @...SAY only updates ROW() when the current DEVICE is the SCREEN. ROW() is used with COL() and all variations of the @ command to position the cursor to a new line relative to the current line. In particular, you can use ROW() and COL() to create screen position-independent procedures or functions where you pass the upper-left row and column as parameters. ROW() is related to PROW() and PCOL(), which track the current printhead position instead of the screen cursor position. Examples . In this example, ROW() simulates the LIST command, displaying text on the same line but in different columns: LOCAL nRow USE Customer INDEX CustName NEW DO WHILE .NOT. EOF() CLS @ 1, 1 SAY PADR("Name", LEN(CustName)) @ ROW(), COL() + 2 SAY PADR("Address", ; LEN(Address)) @ ROW(), COL() + 2 SAY PADR("Phone", LEN(Phone)) nRow = 0 DO WHILE nRow++ <= 15 .AND. (!EOF()) @ ROW() + 1, 1 SAY CustName @ ROW(), COL() + 2 SAY Address @ ROW(), COL() + 2 SAY Phone SKIP ENDDO WAIT ENDDO CLOSE Customer Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
