Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

Expand Browse (-expandbrow)

Use Expand Browse (-expandbrow) to turn on the EXPANDABLE and FIT-LAST-COLUMN options for all browsers created in the current session.

Operating system and syntax	Windows	-expandbrow
Use with	Maximum value	Minimum value	Single-user default	Multi-user default
Client Session	–	–	–	–

The EXPANDABLE attribute has the same behavior as the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute. Therefore, if the -expandbrow parameter is specified at startup, the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute is set to TRUE for each browse in that session.

Note: Progress Software Corporation recommends that you use the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute instead of the EXPANDABLE attribute. This recommendation includes replacing EXPANDABLE with FIT-LAST-COLUMN in your current code.

For more information on these attributes, see OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Reference .
