Traditional Coldef Syntax

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The traditional syntax applies to single-column lists and consists of an arbitrary string to be used as a title. Unlike the PCKLST prompt parameter, XTREE ignores any bottom prompt (which was specified in PCKLST by inserting a chr(13) in the string to separate the top and bottom portions.) Note that there is one important limitation on the contents of the string: it must not contain any groups of two or more spaces enclosed by non-spaces, since this is how XTREE distinguishes between the traditional and simple multi-column syntax.
