FUNCTION HELPMOD()
Short:
------
HELPMOD() Interactively build and modify help screens
Returns:
--------
Nothing
Syntax:
-------
SET KEY xxx TO HELPMOD
Description:
------------
HELPMOD() creates and modifies help screens for
HELP() which are stored in HELP.DBF.
HELPMOD() allows online creation and modification of
the size, location and contents of the help screen for the
current PROC,VARIABLE combination, and stores the results in
HELP.DBF.
HELPMOD() is intended to be used online, during
program execution, by the developer/programmer. It can be
removed after development.
By setting a key xxx to this function, the current
PROC and VARIABLE are passed to it when the key is pressed
during the program.
By comparing the PROC and VARIABLE parameters against
entries in the HELP.DBF, HELPMOD() can then provide the
appropriate help screen for modification, or, if no matching
record is found, allow creation of a new help screen record.
HELP.DBF is created if not present.
Examples:
---------
EXTERNAL HELPMOD
SET KEY -30 TO HELPMOD && alt-F1
