The SELECT Command

Describes the SELECT command.
The SELECT command tells
RLX
whether to include or omit a modifiable selection field for each row. When enabled, the Selection field is locked in place as the leftmost column on the display. (The LEFT and RIGHT scroll commands do not affect the SELECT field).
RLX
TBDISPL makes the contents of the Selection field available to your dialog in a dialog variable named RTDSEL.
You can request the Selection field by specifying SELECT ON or SELECT YES in the command field on line 2.
Command ===> SELECT ON
The following panel illustrates the display after the SELECT ON command executes.
