OLDBLANKLINE

Changes the behavior of the BLANK LINE clause in the Screen Section.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--OLDBLANKLINE--------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: NOOLDBLANKLINE
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Comments:

When OLDBLANKLINE is specified, the BLANK LINE clause behaves exactly the same as ERASE EOL; that is all characters to the right of the cursor are deleted.

With NOOLDBLANKLINE specified, the BLANK LINE clause causes the whole line to be deleted.
