GRABSCRN() Captures the contents of the screen
Description:
GRABSCRN() is actually nothing more than a greatly improved version of
Clipper's 'SAVE SCREEN' command. GRABSCRN() captures not only the
screen image, but also the screen attributes, cursor location, etc.
GRABSCRN() is designed to be used in conjunction with PUTSCRN().
Syntax:
GRABSCRN()
Pass:
Nothing
Return:
Summer 87:
<expL> = Always true
Version 5.0:
Always NIL
Notes:
Example:
GRABSCRN()
_msg[1] = "Please wait while printing"
DISPMSG(_msg,1,"","")
DO RPT_PRGM
PUTSCRN()
.

Usage:
Clipper's SAVE SCREEN command doesn't quite fit the bill for most
screen save operations. i.e. it doesn't save the cursor location or
screen attributes (colors). GRABSCRN() saves all of these very
important aspects of your screen and will restore them properly when
you call PUTSCRN().
