Details

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

Example

If the value 4 was assigned to the push button in the Value on Selection window, _getValue returns the value 4 and assigns it to the variable VALUE:

   call notify('pbutton1','_get_value_',value);
   if (value=4) then
      _msg_='You have made reservations for
             four.';
