PROW()

Class

Printing


Purpose

Function to return printer row position function


Syntax

PROW()


See Also

ROW(), SROWS(), COL(), PCOL(), SCOLS()


Description

The PROW() function returns the current row position of the printer. The current print position is updated whenever you issue @...SAY commands. Normal output using other commands does not have an effect. The main use of the PROW() function is to calculate relative row addressing when designing formatted reports for output to the printer. The SET DEVICE TO PRINT command must be in effect for the print column position to be tracked.


Example

set print on
set device to print
@0,0 say "Line one"
@prow()+1,1 say "Line two"
@prow()+2,1 say "Line three"
