Syntax

<Result> = ParentObject(<Object name>)

<Result>: Character string

If <Object name> is a column, <Result> corresponds to the name of the Table control.
If <Object name> is a window, <Result> corresponds to the name of the parent window (or to an empty string ("") if <Object name> has no parent window).
If <Object name> is a page, <Result> corresponds to the name of the frameset (or to an empty string ("") if <Object name> has no frameset).

<Object name>: Character string
