version 6.8


In the documentation, 4D View commands appear in capitals and in special characters: PV OPEN DOCUMENT.

Functions (routines returning a value) start with a capital and are written in lower-case letters: PV Get on command method.

In the method editor, the 4D View commands are displayed in bold italics, differentiating them from built-in 4th Dimension commands.

      ` 4th Dimension command
   QUERY ([Clients];[Clients]S_Kode=cLi_Scode_V) 
   If (Records in selection ([Clients])=1)

          ` 4D View command
       PV BLOB TO AREA (theArea;Table(->[Clients]);Field(->[Clients]Pict))
   End if

The current documentation offers a number of examples for different 4D View commands illustrating their use. It is likely that several commands may be necessary to effectively illustrate a given example. Also, in the PDF version, a special character () denotes a line of code in the example where the name of the described command appears.

In certain examples in the documentation, a line of code may extend to a second line due space constraints. Enter these examples in your code without a carriage return using a single line.
