Argument	Type	Use	Description
status	Character	Input	specifies the value to assign to the frame's _STATUS_ variable

Details

This method is useful with SCL methods in which the _STATUS_ variable is not directly accessible.

Setting the _STATUS_ to 'H' causes the application to halt the next time it returns from its processing loop. For example, if a text entry field's _validate method uses the _setStatus method to set the status to 'H', the FRAME's SCL program halts when the _validate method returns.
