The OBJECT SET BORDER STYLE command modifies the border line style of the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters.
The "Border Line Style" property modifies the appearance of the object outlines. For more information, refer to Border Line Style in the Design Reference manual.
Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).
In the borderStyle parameter, pass the value of the border line style that you want to apply to the object. You can pass one of the following constants, found in the "Form Objects (Properties)" theme:
