Description

The CALENDAR command displays a pop-up calendar page for the current month, with today's date highlighted. Alternatively, it can be used to display the monthly calendar relating to a specified date.

When editing a date field, pressing the [HELP] key invokes the CALENDAR. Selecting a date from the CALENDAR causes the date value to be returned to the field.

Keyword	Description
AT <expN1>,<expN2>	Specify the calendar top left row and column coordinates. If no coordinates are specified, the calendar is centered on the screen.
BOLD	Display the calendar in bold, if supported by the terminal display.
CLEAR	Clears the screen behind the calendar display area.
DATE <expD>	Specify a date to be displayed on the calendar. The dates from that month will be shown and the date <expD> itself will be highlighted.

The MENUITEM() function will return the selected date from the CALENDAR, or a null string if no date is selected.
