SYNTAX

STREAM stream

Specifies the name of a stream. If you do not name a stream, Progress uses the unnamed stream.

widget-phrase

Specifies the widget you want to view. You can view windows, frames, and field-level widgets. You cannot view menus. If you do not use this option, VIEW sets the VISIBLE attribute for the default frame for the current block.

IN WINDOW window

Specifies the window in which to view the widget.

EXAMPLE

The r-view2.p procedure displays information on a sales representative and then displays all the customers belonging to that sales representative. Each new sales representative is displayed on a new page. In addition, if the information for a sales representative takes up more than one page, a separate FORM statement describes a continuation header for that sales representative. The VIEW statement for the PAGE-TOP frame hdr2, activates the header for subsequent page breaks.

r-view2.p
OUTPUT TO slsrep PAGED PAGE-SIZE 10.

FOR EACH salesrep:
  PAGE.
  FORM HEADER "Sales rep report" "Page" AT 60 PAGE-NUMBER FORMAT ">>>9".

  DISPLAY SKIP(1) sales-rep rep-name region WITH NO-LABELS.
