Description

Hold Data

The system uses this function to hold entries made at runtime and to display them if the user calls the screen again. The supported functions are Hold data, Set data and Delete data (See System → User Profile).

Switch Off Runtime Compression

If you set this option, the system does not compress the screen at runtime.

We recommend that you do not use this option. If you hide fields dynamically at runtime, empty lines may appear on the screen and the processing may take longer time.

Template – Non-executable

This attribute is assigned to screens that are intended to serve as a template but never be executed themselves. If this attribute is set:

●      The screen cannot be generated or activated and therefore cannot be executed.

●      The screen is not included in the screen consistency checks during the extended program check.

Hold Scroll Position

If you set this option, the system restores the vertical and the horizontal scroll positions when the user returns to the original screen. This also applies to the length and the width of the screen.

This attribute is useful for large screens.

Without Application Toolbar

This attribute hides the application toolbar. The same functions are available on the menu bar and in the context menu.
