Documents the historical alias-bound grid.

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

The eAdvpl reference guide, §3.19, p. 18, records the historical variant shown in the syntax. Fragments assume the matching environment and command definitions; they are not a complete application. The manual records ALIAS and SIZE for grid creation. This differs from the MBrowse contract using SX3 and aRotina. TCBrowse is another official grid reference and relates to @ ... BROWSE, but does not establish DBBROWSE as a synonym across includes. Alias opening, column setup and window closing are external prerequisites of the fragment. (Refs. 1–2)

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

// Historical fragment: oDlg and SA1 already exist.
Local oBrw
If Select("SA1") > 0
    @ 2, 2 DBBROWSE oBrw ALIAS "SA1" SIZE 60, 10 OF oDlg
EndIf
// Do not close SA1: the caller owns this alias.

Expected result

Demonstrates alias binding without defining columns or edit operations. It is not a complete maintenance routine. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Verify the macro and coordinate units in the actual include. Enable editing, deletion or action buttons only after validating contracts, locks and permissions.
