Language Reference
UNDERLINE Statement
Underlines a field or variable, using the next display line for the underline.
SYNTAX
STREAM stream
Specifies the name of a stream. If you do not name a stream, Progress uses the unnamed stream. See the DEFINE STREAM Statement reference entry in this book and the chapter on alternate I/O sources in the Progress Programming Handbook for more information on streams.
field
Represents the name of the field or variable you want to underline.
frame-phrase
Specifies the overall layout and processing properties of a frame. For more information on frame-phrase, see the Frame Phrase reference entry.
EXAMPLEThis procedure produces a report of customer records, categorized by state. When the last customer for a certain state has been displayed (determined by the LAST-OF function), the UNDERLINE statement underlines the state field.
NOTES
- Use The UNDERLINE statement to highlight fields or to underline accumulated values that you calculated using functions other than the automatic aggregate functions supplied with Progress.
- When determining the position within a DOWN frame, the DOWN statement and the UP statement count the line used by an underline.
- Even if the layout of a DOWN frame takes multiple screen lines, the underline takes just one line on the screen.
- For a 1 DOWN frame or single frame, the UNDERLINE does not appear. Instead, Progress clears the frame.
