Function

The SET WINDOW statement is used to activate and de-activate a window.

Any SET WINDOW 'window-name' or INPUT WINDOW='window-name' statement de-activates the window which has currently been active and activates the window specified in the statement. This means that only one window can be active at a time.

Note:
If you use SET WINDOW to activate a window which is defined with SIZE AUTO, the data on the screen before the window is activated determine the size of the window.

Syntax Description

`SET WINDOW 'window-name'`	Activates the specified window, which means that all subsequent statements refer to that window until either the window is de-activated or another window is activated. The specified window must have been defined with a `DEFINE WINDOW` statement.
`SET WINDOW OFF`	De-activates the currently active window.
