Frames for Nonterminal Devices
Progress designs frames independently of the output destination of the frame, which is not determined when the procedure runs, but when it is compiled. However, there are special considerations when you design frames for display on something other than a terminal screen. If you display frames to nonterminal devices, the following rules apply:
- Unless you use the NO–BOX Frame phrase option, Progress omits the bottom line of the box and converts the top line to blanks. In addition, Progress does not print or reserve space for the sides of the box.
- Progress does not output a frame until it executes a data-handling statement that uses another frame or until it executes a PUT statement. It collects all the changes to the frame and sends only one copy of the frame to the output destination.
- Progress ignores the ROW Frame phrase option. See the PUT statement in the Progress Language Reference for more information on controlling the format of output to nonterminal devices.
