-----------------------------------
Displays database records or expressions.
-----------------------------------
The DISPLAY command displays the contents of the currently selected
database file. It is similar to the LIST command. The DISPLAY command
will display an entire screen or window of information, then pause.
Press any key or click the mouse to see the next screen or window of
information. The LIST command will display the same information in a
continuous stream, without pause.
DISPLAY can also be used to display the results of expressions which may
consist of literals, memory variables and arrays, database fields and
memo fields. The field names will be displayed at the top of each
screen unless SET HEADING is OFF.
Clauses
-------
FIELDS <field list>
Specifies fields to be included.
<scope>
Displays only records that fall in range of records specified.
FOR <expL1>
Displays only records that satisfy logical condition <expL1>.
WHILE <expL2>
Displays records as long as logical expression <expL2> evaluates to
true.
OFF
Doesn't displays record number of each record.
TO PRINTER | TO FILE <file>
Directs display to printer or disk file. If a printer driver setup is
loaded, output from all forms of DISPLAY will use the settings of the
printer driver setup.
NOCONSOLE
Including NOCONSOLE suppresses output to the screen or the active
window.
NOOPTIMIZE
