01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

MBrowse and MBROWSE() are the same function, consolidated here. The minimum contract takes four coordinates and an alias; the official reference lists all optional arguments. Dictionary tables use SX3 and user settings for columns. Work files require alias TRB and aFixe field metadata in this reference. aRotina defines actions; cCadastro sets the title. This example only prepares a call for an already open alias and suitable Private context. (Sources: refs. 1–1.)

02 · SYNTAX

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"

User Function Ed525()
    // Alias, SX3 and aRotina must exist; block not invoked.
    Local bBrowse := {|cAlias| mBrowse(6,1,22,75,cAlias)}
    ConOut(ValType(bBrowse))
Return Nil

Expected result

Prints B. Opens no browse and exposes no update actions. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Review actions and permissions before exposing the menu; visual filters do not replace access control. lSeeAll and lChgAll broaden branch scope and require explicit review. Save/restore work area and order.
