How the screen should be treated when encountered during navigation between screens.  Note that in the full-function code generators, you have the opportunity to override this value in the TaskScreen element associated with this screen.

 

Value

Meaning

Standard

Default, should be read/written

Self Contained Search

When in a transaction, needs navigation entry performed (keyVariable/literal) in order to see results.  Use for search screens where the criteria for the search is on the same screen, with results typically displayed as a list below the criteria following and ENTER or Function key press.

 

Note: the Self Contained Search screen will also be interpreted as a DrillDown List type if an Action column or cursor action is defined for any contained multirow map.

InfoIgnore

Informational popup, ignore information

InfoCollect

Informational, grab all fields in any map starting with "Message"

Exception

Error screen that will cancel any active transaction, returning any messages from fields starting with "Message"

TempFlash

A temporary flash screen that never requires any user action to remove from the display

CustomEntry

When generating navigation routines, create overridable user methods for navigating from this screen.  This should be used for non-standard screens or screens where the generated navigation is not working correctly.

DrillDown List

Screen contains at least one multirow list that is used to select the next screen with an action column.  Commonly known as a "Subfile Screen" with AS400/iSeries applications.

 

Note: select Self Contained Search if the screen has fields to be filled-in and entered to provide the list for drilldown, since the Self Contained Search is also considered a DrillDown when settings support drilling-down.

Dynamic Menu

Menu Screen and menu options change depending on user profile or other factors--runtime navigation needs to match text for the option to get the active value based on the live screen.
