Converting Elements

You use this procedure to convert screen elements in the alphanumeric mode of the Screen Painter.

To convert an element, proceed as follows:

1. Position your cursor on an element.
2. In the context menu, choose Graphical element.

   The system displays the change screen for the element.

3. Choose Edit → Convert and a new element type.
   Note

   You can combine radio buttons to form a radio button group.

Converting Elements into Pushbuttons

Before converting pushbuttons, make sure that you have selected only text fields or output fields. You cannot convert input fields into buttons. After you convert an element, you can assign it a function code from the Field list screen or the Attributes for 1 field dialog.

Converting Tables into Step Loops

If you want to convert a table control into a variable or a fixed step loop, the system attempts to use the specified columns and lines. If this is impossible, it creates multiple-line step loops. The system always creates as many repetition lines as possible (two lines are the minimum).
