Example

This example returns the row number for the next-to-last row selected by the user. To do this, it first uses the _getNselect method to retrieve the total number of selected rows. The _selected method uses this number to calculate the next-to-last selected row (NUM_SELECTED-1), for which it determines the row number and assigns it to the variable ROW_NUM.

   call notify('table','_get_nselect_',
                num_selected);
   if (num_selected > 2) then do;
      call notify('table','_selected_',
                   num_selected-1,row_num);
      put "The next to last row selected is
           row: " row_num;
   end;
