Details

UNSELECT is useful for forcing the deselection of a row. Normally a user selects and deselects a row by pressing ENTER or by clicking on the row with the mouse.

You can use UNSELECT only for selection lists that were built with extended tables in PROGRAM entries. Window controls must use the _unselectRow method. Because you can define extended tables only in SAS/AF software, you cannot use UNSELECT in FSEDIT or FSVIEW programs.

In order for an extended table to be considered a selection list, you must specify the number of selections in the SETROW routine.

Example

Force row 5 to be deselected:

rc=unselect(5);
