Value: | A pointer to the RenderText object. The properties of the RenderText object determine how the text contained in the control or object is displayed at execution time. The RenderText properties are the RenderStyle, PictureString and DateStyle properties. For example, if the RenderStyle property is "1 - COBOL PICTURE", the PictureString property is "$$$,$$$,$$9" and you move "3000" to the Caption property, PowerCOBOL converts the string and displays "$3,000". However, if you refer to the Caption property, the string "$3,000" is converted by PowerCOBOL giving you the value "3000". | |||

Column | Applies to the Text property of the ListItem object corresponding to the column. | |||
