**FORMAT**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **FORMAT** //type// in a #PROMPT statement indicates the prompt's //symbol// must contain a LIST or COMBO control's FORMAT attribute string, so it calls the listbox formatter to create it.

**Example:**

**#PROMPT('Alternate LIST format',****FORMAT****),%AlternateFormatString**
