But this not possible in case of GET CURSOR which will get the contents of the line where we clicked. By READ line we can read any line of any page, But this is not possible with GET CURSOR.</P><P></P><P>Also check below variants of read line(F1 help). U will get more information.</P><P></P><P>1. READ LINE line. </P><P></P><P>2. READ LINE line OF CURRENT PAGE. </P><P></P><P>3. READ LINE line OF PAGE pag. </P><P></P><P>4.
