NUMCOL()
Restores the number of available screen columns
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NUMCOL() --> nColumn
Returns
NUMCOL() returns the number of columns available on the screen or in the
current window, under CA-Clipper.
Description
Use NUMCOL() to establish screen width to determine the line break for
output.
NUMCOL() receives its return value from the BIOS and then, in
conjunction with DSETWINDOW(), returns the number of columns on the
physical screen or for a window.
Example
Column count for the open window:
WOPEN(10, 10, 20, 70) // Open window
SETWINDOW(.T.) // Default
? NUMCOL() // 61 columns
DSETWINDOW(.F.) // Do not reroute external output?
NUMCOL() // 80 columns
