currentArrayScreenLine()

You can use the consoleLib.currentArrayScreenLine() system function to determine the number of the current line within the scrolling screen array during an openUI statement.

Syntax

  consoleLib.currentArrayScreenLine( )
    returns (result INT)

result: The number of the current line within the screen array.

Example

Assume you have set up an array dictionary within your console form, as in the example in Using an array dictionary in Console UI. Here the data array has 20 elements, but the screen array has only four. Assume that a user scrolls downward through the displayed records to the 19th record, and your code contains the following lines in an appropriate onEvent block within the openUI statement:

i = currentArrayDataLine();
j = currentArrayScreenLine();

The value of i is 19, indicating the 19th record in the data array. The value of j is 4, indicating the bottom row of the screen display. This is not the absolute line number within the window, but the relative line number within the scrolling screen array.
