HELPMOD() Short: ------ HELPMOD() Interactively build and modify help screens Returns: -------- Nothing Syntax: ------- SET KEY xxx TO HELPMOD Description: ------------ HELPMOD() creates and modifies help screens for HELP() which are stored in HELP.DBF. HELPMOD() allows online creation and modification of the size, location and contents of the help screen for the current PROC,VARIABLE combination, and stores the results in HELP.DBF. HELPMOD() is intended to be used online, during program execution, by the developer/programmer. It can be removed after development. By setting a key xxx to this function, the current PROC and VARIABLE are passed to it when the key is pressed during the program. By comparing the PROC and VARIABLE parameters against entries in the HELP.DBF, HELPMOD() can then provide the appropriate help screen for modification, or, if no matching record is found, allow creation of a new help screen record. HELP.DBF is created if not present. Examples: --------- EXTERNAL HELPMOD SET KEY -30 TO HELPMOD && alt-F1 Notes: ------- Will not be much use during ACHOICE or MENU TO Source: ------- S_HELPM.PRG
