Lists - System Fields

The sections below give an overview of the
system fields relevant for list processing. The list that is currently being created is called the "current" list (like the current page, or current line). A list that has just been displayed, possibly involving a list event, is known as the "displayed" list. "Absolute" means that the list itself is referred to and not the state of the list screen . A row selected by a list event on which the cursor is positioned, or which is read by READ LINE , is called the "selected" row.
