Usage of protect endprotect in smartforms

Syntax:

/: PROTECT

:

:

/: ENDPROTECT

The lines to be protected lie between the two commands.

An ENDPROTECT command without a preceding PROTECT command is ineffective.

If the last ENDPROTECT is missing, it is implicitly assumed at the end of the text.

PROTECT .. ENDPROTECT commands cannot be nested. If a second PROTECT command is recognized while another is active, the second is ignored.

If the text between PROTECT and ENDPROTECT is so extensive that it would not fit on an empty page, then only one form feed is generated and the text is normally output. Thus, in this case, the section to be protected is separated by a page break.
