The RM/Panels utility functions are provided to allow you to control the overall behavior of the RM/Panels run-time system, rather than manipulate individual panels. Unlike the RM/Panels standard run-time functions described previously, the utility functions are not related to individual panels, are not generated into the panelname.PRC files, and do not require a panel work area parameter. These functions are included in your program through CALL statements.
The following table gives the name and abbreviation of each RM/Panels utility function.
