Note: Coordinates are optional if displaying in a non-SAP window.

Properties

• startrow, startcol, endrow, endcol - Row and column co-ordinates.

Note: To use the view() command, you must install the file 'pinnacle.dll' in the same directory as the executable of the application in which view is to be used.
