------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
GETFLDCOL([<nField>]) --> nColumn
Argument
<nField> Designates the number of the GET field for which the
screen column is determined. The default is the currently active field.

@ 10, 10 GET....
@ 10, 20 GET....
@ 10, 30 GET.....
? GETFLDCOL(2) // Result: 20
. Display the column for the currently active GET field:
READ // Assuming field 1 is active
Within a UDF or KEYTRAP procedure:
? GETFLDCOL() // Result: 10
