Notes:
The context for both of these commands is that there is a Screen displaying data records, and one of those records is the current record, that is, the cursor is on a particular record. This is the "current record" referred to in the above command description.

Also see SCREENSTATUS ROW. (screenstatus )

The BOLD command is one of the methods by which a record can be set to bold. The other is that the user can set any record to bold by doing a shift+click. (This is standard behavior for all screen types.) In this manner the user can "select" records. A procedure can determine which records were "selected" via theSELECT/B command.
