View Dependent Status of Object

Synopsis

&VWDEP(obj[,IFERR,label:])

Description

Allows you to verify/change the view dependent status of an object.

If verifying an object, this symbol returns a null string if the specified object is a model object. It returns the name of the view if the specified object is view dependent.

If changing the view dependent status of an object, specifying a null string converts the object from a view dependent object to a model object. Specifying a view name converts the object from a model object to a view dependent object.

&VWDEP(obj) = &NULSTR or 'view name'

NOTE: You cannot use &VWDEP to convert an object from view dependent in one view to view dependent in another view on one pass. Use two passes to accomplish this: one to convert to model, the next to convert back to view dependent.
