Argument	Type	Description
checkbox-value	N	returns the numeric value assigned to the check box. This value is blank if the check box is not active.

Details

If a check box has been assigned a character value in the Value on Selection window, the _getValue method causes a program halt. Use the _getText method to return the value of a check box that has a character value.

Example

If the number 4 was assigned to the check box in the Value on Selection window and the check box is active, _getValue assigns the value 4 to the SCL variable VALUE:

   call notify('checkbox','_get_value_',
                value);
   if (value=4) then
      _msg_='You have made reservations
       for four.';
