PA_GotoArea (variableName)
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| variableName | char * | → | Name of the object that should get the focus | 
Description
   The routine
   
    
     PA_GotoArea
    
   
   is used to select the data entry variable
   
    variableName
   
   as the active area of the form. It is equivalent to the user's clicking on or tabbing into
   
    variableName
   
   
.
    This is like the
    
     
      GOTO AREA
     
    
    4th Dimension command except that the routine cannot give the focus to fields.
   
NOTE
    If
    
     variableName
    
    is not an existing object, the focus is "lost" and the user must click on a variable/field to get it again.
   
Example
Force user to enter a certain value in a variable.
   if(MyGetLongVariableValue("VAT") == 0) // Call PA_GetVariable and so on.
   {
      PA_Alert("You must set the value of the VAT before");
      PA_GotoArea("VAT");
   }
