As we already know that data can be entered into tables through the
APPEND/BROWSE commands. Data entry for tables can also be done through programs. There
arises a need to display and accept information in a formatted way.
The @say command is used to place data at a particular screen location and to display data stored in
fields or memory variables. The @get commands is used to retrieve data.
