Description

The SET WINDOW OF APPEND command designates a pre-defined window to display a default appending work surface when the APPEND command is invoked. A window is an area of the screen designated for output and input. Windows are defined with the DEFINE WINDOW command, and are activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. There is no limit to the number of windows you may define. After the SET WINDOW OF APPEND command is issued and APPEND is invoked, a default append work surface will be displayed in <window-name>. The <window-name> is the name of the window as specified with the DEFINE WINDOW command.

The optional qualifier IN <alias> may be used to designate an edit window in another workarea. If the IN <alias> qualifier is not use, the correct workarea must be selected before issuing the SET WINDOW OF APPEND command.

Example

define window wErro;
  from 1,44 to 21,78;
  title "Error Window"
set window of error to wErro
crash
