Keisuke: Thanks for taking time to reply
In my world, things are often not obvious.
In this case the reason is that the documentation refers to a first parameter
as being optional {aTable}, but if it is not provided then it uses the Default
Table.
I could not understand what the Default Table of a Project Form would be.
The fact that this command, Print form, had this parameter scared me off of it.
Your reply got me burrowing a little deeper in the documentation. The
discussion of the command
NO DEFAULT TABLE
has, I believe, clarified for me the whole issue of this first parameter in
form commands.
I have certainly used the analogous DIALOG command on project forms blithely
ignoring the {aTable} first parameter without any problem so I can see why one
might wonder how any such person could trip up when considering Print form.
But I managed :)
****************
Print form ( {aTable ;} form {; area1 {; area2}} ) -> Function result
Parameter Type Description
aTable Table --> Table owning the form, or Default
table, if omitted
form String--> Form to print
area1 Longint --> Print marker, or Beginning area
(if area2 is specified)
area2 Longint --> Ending area (if area1 specified)
Function resultLongint <-- Height of printed section
