UPDATE Causes the screen manager to make a window reflect the current state of the buffer that is mapped to the window. The screen manager updates windows after each keystroke. This means that if a key is bound to a procedure, several built-ins may be executed before the screen actually reflects the internal state of the buffer. If you want the screen to reflect changes before the entire procedure is executed, you can force an immediate update by adding an UPDATE statement to the procedure. Syntax UPDATE ({window | ALL}) Parameters window The window that you want updated. The window must be visible for the update to occur. ALL Specifies that all visible windows are to be updated to reflect the current state of the buffers mapped to them. Example UPDATE (new_window); This statement causes the screen manager to make the new window reflect the current internal state of the buffer associated with that window. Related Topics REFRESH
