| DSOID | The name of the DataSet, or the ordinal number of the DataSet (its position in the list of DataSets that appears in the Form Designer's Edit Selection Criteria dialog box). |
| RowNum | Specifies row number in DataSet. |

Remarks
If the RowNum value is equal to 0 and if RefreshForm is false, the message box allows SYSPROG*MSG**OIWIN_GETROWNUM the user to enter a valid row number. If the RowNum value is equal to 0 and if RefreshForm is true then the only result of this event is synchronizing the form with the DataSet. This is used when if the contents of a DataSet have been changed programmatically.
