The Screen editor

In this editor, you enter all the characteristics of a Screen.

Note: To indicate work areas, you must use micropatterns directly in the generated COBOL file.

You can simulate a Screen to check the position and characteristics of its fields and labels as they will be displayed when the transaction is run. From a Screen whose editor is opened and selected, click Open the emulator on the selected Screen in the toolbar to open the simulation. The Screen emulator view opens.

If you add a Data Element in the -CE Lines or change a presentation label, for example, you can see the modification in the Screen emulator view by clicking Open the emulator on the selected Screen again.
Note: You can link the Screen emulator view with the current Screen by clicking Link with current Screen in the view toolbar. The view or the emulator then listens to the modifications in the -CE Lines and display them simultaneously.
