showpage
The showpage statement forces Panorama to redisplay all windows in the current database.
Parameters
No parameters.
Description
This statement tells Panorama to redisplay all of the data in every open window of the current database. Use this command after the noshow command when you have only modified multiple fields and/or columns (for example sorting or selecting). ShowPage does not turn the display back on. To do that you must use the endnoshow statement.
Here is an example that performs several operations on the current database, but only updates the display once.
