$tabmode = 1
End table looping when any one of the expressions in the table row
using the $row subscript returns undefined
OR when $row equals the definable $maxrow variable (which
defaults to 100). The row containing the undefined expression is
not displayed. Only those expressions in the table row which use the
$row
subscript are evaluated for definedness to determine when to end
looping
for that table row.
use similar language with all the other applicable $tabmode values : 2, 16 and
32
