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
(such as the type of organization) and type of use (such as read or
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
- 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.
You can also click More in the -CS
lines section of the Overview tab
or click the -CS Lines tab.
- 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

also add Server calls by clicking
Add Server call and
