after

Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the put command to place a value at the end of a container or chunk.

Syntax

after

Description

Use the after keyword to position the insertion point at a selected location in a field, or to add text at a specific location in a container.

You can specify either a container, or a chunk within a container. If you don't specify a chunk, the after keyword specifies the very end of the container.

When you use the after keyword, the current contents of the container or chunk is not affected. The text is added to the container or chunk, instead of replacing it.

Examples

select after field 1 -- puts the insertion point at the end of the field

put space after item 2 of field "Formatted Address"
