2.3.19 FOC variable
Description
The FOC variable can be used to control the input focus (the current active input/output field)
in a dialog. Responses to cursor left, right, up and down movements, as well as PGUP,
PGDN, are predefined and cannot be modified.
Note
The FOC function may not be initiated as a result of a navigation event. The cursor position
may only be changed in softkey PRESS blocks, CHANGE blocks, etc.
The FOC function cannot be applied to variables with input mode wr = 0 and wr = 4 or to
Help variables.
Programming
Syntax: FOC
Description: The variable can be read and written.
Return Value: Read The result is the name of the variable to which the
FOC function has been applied.
Write It is possible to assign either a string or a numerical
value.A string is interpreted as a variable name and a
numerical value as a variable index.
Example
IF FOC == "Var1" ; Read focus
REG[1] = Var1
ELSE
REG[1] = Var2
ENDIF
FOC = "Var1" ; The input focus will be assigned to Variable 1.
FOC = 3 ; The input focus will be assigned to the 3rd
dialog element with WR ≥ 2.
