#AT Specifies a location to generate statements.
location An #EMBED identifier. This may be a #EMBED for a procedure that comes from another template set.
instances The location parameters that identify the embedded source code point for a multi-valued #EMBED identifier. There may as many instance parameters as are required to explicitly identify the embedded source code point. These instances are omittable.
WHERE More closely specifies the #AT location as only those embed points where the expression is true.
expression An expression that specifies exact placement.
AUTO Opens a new scope for the #AT. This means that any #DECLARE statements in the #AT would not be available to the #PROCEDURE being generated.
PRESERVE Preserves the current fixed instances of all built-in multi-valued symbols when the #AT is called and restores all those instances when the #AT code terminates.
DESCRIPTION Specifies text that will be displayed at the embed tree node specified by the location.
PRIORITY Specifies the order inwhich the #AT is generated into the location. The lowest value generates first. If omitted, the PRIORITY is assumed to be 5000.
number An integer constant in the range 1 to 10000.
FIRST Equivalent to PRIORITY(1).
LAST Equivalent to PRIORITY(10000).
statements Template and/or target language code.
#ENDAT Terminates the section.

The #AT structure specifies a location to generate statements. #AT is valid only in a #CONTROL, #CODE, or #EXTENSION templates, and is used to allow them to generate statements into multiple locations. The #AT structure must terminate with #ENDAT.

The WHERE clause allows you to create an expression that can specify a single specific instance of a #EMBED that has a symbol attribute. You may not place #AT within any type of conditional structure (such as #IF or #CASE). If you need to conditionally generate the code, place the #IF or #CASE structure within the #AT structure.

Example:

#CONTROL(BrowseList,'Add Browse List controls')

#AT(%ControlEvent,'?Insert','Accepted'),PRIORITY(5000)

   #IF(%InsertAllowed)

GlobalRequest = InsertRecord

%UpdateProc

   #ENDIF

 #ENDAT
