Description

When the MENUBAR is set ON, it enables use of the [MENU] key from within forms to activate user-defined menus. If MENUBAR is set OFF, the [MENU] is disabled from inside forms for activating user-defined menus. This is particularly useful when using the same form for APPEND and EDIT operations. The default setting for MENUBAR is ON.

Example

if menuitem()="APPEND"
    set menubar off
    append
else
    set menubar on
edit
endif
