Adding or modifying Segment calls in a Screen or Dialog

The Segments calls are used for the processing of data external to the Screen. For each element called in a Screen (Segment, Data Element, or Server call), you must indicate its physical characteristics (type of organization and so forth) and type of use (read, update...) in the -CS Lines tab of the Screen editor.

Before you begin

The Screen and the called Segments must have been previously defined. To define a Screen, the Dialog to which it belongs must be defined.

About this task

To add a Segment call, you must:

Procedure

  1. Open the -CS Lines tab of a Screen. Select a Screen or Dialog in the Design Explorer view, double-click, or right-click and select Open. Otherwise, click More in the -CS lines section of the Overview tab or click the -CS Lines tab.
  2. Click Add Segment call (or select this action in the contextual menu). A new empty line is added to the -CS lines. You must enter the information relating to the Segment call directly in the column cells or in the fields of the -CS lines - Segment call section so that the parameters of the Segment are displayed on the -CS line.

What to do next

To add or modify Data Element calls in a Screen or Dialog, the procedure is the same. You can enter or select values in the fields of the Add Data Element call section. You can also add Server calls by clicking Add Server call and enter the required values in the fields dedicated to the Server call added in the Server call section. The values are automatically displayed in the table.
Note: The possible actions with the buttons are also available in the contextual menu of the table.
