DISPLAY RECORD {(table)}
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| table | Table |  | Table from which to display the current record, or |
| Default table, if omitted |
Description
The DISPLAY RECORD command displays the current record of table, using the current input form. The record is displayed only until an event redraws the window. Such an event might be the execution of an ADD RECORD command, returning to an input form, or returning to the menu bar. DISPLAY RECORD does nothing if there is no current record.
DISPLAY RECORD is often used to display custom progress messages. It can also be used to generate a free-running slide show.
If a form method exists, an On Load event will be generated.
WARNING: Do not call DISPLAY RECORD from within a Web connection process, because the command will be executed on the 4th Dimension Web server machine and not on the Web browser client machine.
Example
The following example displays a series of records as a slide show:
ALL RECORDS([Demo]) ` Select all of the records INPUT FORM ([Demo]; "Display") ` Set the form to use for display For ($vlRecord;1;Records in selection([Demo])) ` Loop through all of the records DISPLAY RECORD([Demo]) ` Display a record DELAY PROCESS (Current process; 180) ` Pause for 3 seconds NEXT RECORD([Demo]) ` Move to the next record End for
