SETLINES()
Determines the number of lines after which the screen display pauses
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SETLINES(<nLines>) --> cNullString
Argument
<nLines> Designates the number of lines after which the screen
display pauses.
Returns
The function always returns a null string.
Description
SETLINES() allows you to simulate a DOS MORE command for commands like
LIST or DISPLAY. To properly function, one input command must always be
present in the related instruction (see example).
Note
. Only line feeds are counted.
. If you use values less than or equal to 0 for <nNrLines>, the
screen display does not pause.
Example
In this example, the screen output stops after 20 lines. INKEY() allows
you to continuously query the keyboard, while the NUL() suppresses the
return value for INKEY().
USE DATA
SETLINES(20) // Stop after 20 lines
LIST Field1, Field2, NUL(INKEY())
