getfrm(1F)          (Form and Menu Language Interpreter)         getfrm(1F)

NAME
     getfrm - returns the current frameID number

SYNOPSIS
     getfrm

DESCRIPTION
     getfrm returns the current frameID number. The frameID number is a
     number assigned to the frame by FMLI and displayed flush left in the
     frame's title bar. If a frame is closed its frameID number may be
     reused when a new frame is opened. getfrm takes no arguments.

EXAMPLES
     If a menu whose frameID is 3 defines an item to have this action
     descriptor:

          action=open text stdtext `getfrm`

     then the text frame defined in the definition file stdtext is passed
     the argument 3 when it is opened.

NOTES
     It is not a good idea to use getfrm in a backquoted expression coded
     on a line by itself. Stand-alone backquoted expressions are evaluated
     before any descriptors are parsed, thus the frame is not yet fully
     current, and may not have been assigned a frameID number.
