Column (ScreenField property)

Return the column number of a screenfield (ScreenField class)

The Column readOnly property returns the number of the first column of a screenfield.

The first column, in any field, is reserved for an attribute byte and does not contain displayable data (it appears on a screen as a blank). The field's value (display data) begins by default in the column immediately following the reserved column.
