.WIDGET VIEW RUNTIME

This subroutine shows properties of the current --- WIDGET file.

Usage:

      GOSUB    --- .WIDGET VIEW RUNTIME
      *        Check for errors
      IF       --- .WIDGET VIEW RUNTIME       NE

Description:

This subroutine shows properties of the current --- WIDGET file. There are no parameters.

This is useful for debugging your --- WIDGET file. You cannot simply run an input process with --- WIDGET as the PCF, since that input process will get it's own --- WIDGET file, and those will be the widgets you see, not the ones from your input process.

This routine will copy your existing --- WIDGET file to a memory file, and then show you the contents. You can invoke this subroutine in any event point that has widgets (ie, Pre-Display, Pre-Display/Verify, etc).

If you call this in the Pre-Display event point, you can make changes to the memory file and those changes will be copied back to your process. This can be a useful way of experimenting with different --- WIDGET fields.
