LVPUT string will change the text of the current record the LV is at, to what ever you give in "String". ex: lvuse gui 1 lvgo #5 lvput "This line has new text" If the ListView is a @{" DataBase " link DBase_LVs }, the old line will not be deleted and replaced with the new (like normal listviews) but will be copied over with the string given. The rest of the buffer, will be filled with blanks. It's better to use %Fields that LVPut when dealing with DataBases.
