| use.session.to create text windows that can be used to maintain and display text in ERP LN. Note If you use the multiline editor as the external editor, only the number of columns and number of rows are relevant. In that case, the frame and color are default defined. However, you must make a selection in all fields because you can also use other editors for the text group. You can use the First Column and First Row fields to specify the position of the text window on the screen. The size of the text window is defined by the number of columns and number of rows. The number of columns in the text window indicates the maximum number of characters on a text line. If you do not select a frame for the text window, the maximum number of columns in a text window is 215. If you have defined a frame for the text window, the maximum number of columns is 213. The minimum number of columns is ten. In the BAAN editor, the maximum number of lines in a window is 64 and is determined from the first text row, excluding the frame. In the multiline editor the maximum number of lines is default defined. The bottom line is reserved for messages. Related topics Text Parameters Procedure Text Management Overview
