Hi Gurus,

Define Call Screen and leave to screen

Hi,

CALL SCREEN: With CALL SCREEN, the current (calling) chain is suspended, and a next screen (or screen chain) is called in. The called screen can then return to the suspended chain with the statement LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.

Reward if useful.

Hi,

Using call screen , u can call any screen created in a program.

And the same can be achieved using leave to screen also. Apart from this if u use leave to screen 0, it leaves to the last screen.

Hi,

With SET SCREEN the current screen simply specifies the next screen in the chain , control branches to this next screen as sonn as th e current screen has been processed .Return from next screen to current screen is not automatic .It does not interrupt processing of the current screen.If we want to branch to the next screen without finishing the current one ,use LEAVE SCREEN.

With CALL SCREEN , the current (calling) chain is suspended , and a next screen (screen chain) is called .The called can then return to the suspended chain with the statement LEAVE SCREEN TO SCREEN 0 .Sometime we might want to let an user call a pop up screen from the main application screen to let him enter secondary information.After they have completed their enteries, the users should be able to close the popup and return directly to the place where they left off in the main screen.Here comes CALL SCREEN into picture .This statement lets us insert such a sequence intp the current one.

If we use SET SCREEN without LEAVE SCREEN, the program finishes processing for the current screen before branching to <scr no>. If we use LEAVE SCREEN without a SET SCREEN before it, the current screen process will be terminated and branch directly to the screen specified as the default next-screen in the screen attributes.

LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 or (SET SCREEN 0 and LEAVE SCREEN) .When u return to the suspended chain execution resumes with the statement directly following the original CALL SCREEN statement.The original sequence of screens in a transaction (that is , without having stacked any additional call modes),you returned from the transaction altogether.

Hi,

Call Screen

Usually used for pop up screens. Many times, there is a need for user to enter additional information or secondary information on another screen or pop up screen. Once the user enters the data, he should be able to go back to main screen or to the screen where he started. This is not possible by using SET SCREEN. CALL SCREEN achieves this functionality.

Syntax

Call Screen 200.

Will simply call a screen number 200 from a main screen. Once the screen is displayed the user can enter all the data and return to the main screen by clicking BACK button.

To call screen as pop up screen the syntax is

Call screen starting at <col.no.> <line no>

Ending at <col no> <line no>.

In this case window will be popped as window and user can close it by using BACK button.

Leave to screen

To SET a new screen without processing current screen, you need to use the following two statements together:

SET SCREEN 200.

LEAVE SCREEN.

Or a Single statement

LEAVE TO SCREEN 200.
