| Special note (right-to-left languages only): If you are using a right-to-left language, and have not specifically disabled the automatic "mirroring" facility (see the FUNCTION command), the column / position specified will be automatically "inverted" or "mirrored" into a right-to-left panel or report position. This facility provides for the easy change of panel and report layouts from right- to-left into left-to-right layouts, or vice-versa. However it does mean that all positions are always specified in left-to-right format. Thus it is much easier to modify panel and report layouts by using the screen or report painter facilities than by making manual RDML changes. |
