LINENO

Contains the current line number in a report.

Syntax

LINENO

Usage

This operator takes no operand but returns the value of the line number of the report line that is currently printing.

The report engine calculates the line number by calculating the number of lines from the top of the current page, including the TOP MARGIN.

Example

In this example, a PRINT statement instructs the report to calculate and display the current line number, beginning in the tenth character position after the left margin:

  ON EVERY ROW
    IF LINENO > 9 THEN
      PRINT COLUMN 10, "Line:", LINENO USING "<<<"
    END IF
