Syntax

PageAbs ( )

Long. Returns the absolute number of the current page.

Example 2

This example obtains the absolute page number for the first row on the page in the string variable ret:

string ret, row
row = dw_1.Object.DataWindow.FirstRowOnPage
ret = dw_1.Describe("Evaluate('pageabs()', "+row+")")
