Argument	Type	Description
csf-value	N	specifies the value to assign to the CSF

Details

If you want to use _setValue from the INIT section of the frame and you have set the data set name and the variable in the Attributes window, first clear the data set name and variable by calling _setDsname and _setDepVar with empty strings. If you fail to do this, the value for the CSF is retrieved from the data set. Note that this also applies to calls to _setValue prior to a call to _update.

INIT:
   call notify('csf', '_setDsname', '');
   call notify('csf', '_setDepVar', '');
   call notify('csf', '_setVALUE', 30);
return;

BUTTON:
   call notify('csf', '_setDsname', '');
   call notify('csf', '_setDepVar', '');
   call notify('csf', '_setValue', 25);
   call notify('csf', '_update');
return;

Example

The _setValue method changes the value of CSF1 from 1 to 100:

MAIN:
   do i = 1 to 100;
      csf = i;
         /* You can also use this line            */
         /* CALL NOTIFY('csf1','_setValue',i);  */
      refresh;
    end;
return;
