14.1.3 RDML Screen Modes and Mode Sensitive Commands

The DISPLAY and POP_UP commands cause information to be displayed on a workstation. In addition the "mode" in which the information should be displayed can also be specified. Currently screens can be displayed in 4 different "modes" that are referred to as:

  • *DISPLAY mode

  • *CHANGE mode

  • *ADD mode

  • *DELETE mode

The processing mode which is in use when a DISPLAY and POP_UP command is executed affects:

  • Whether or not fields on the screen can be changed by the user.

  • The function keys that are enabled.

  • The processing logic that is used by the DISPLAY  and POP_UP commands.

The screen mode can be set / changed by using the SET_MODE command and can be tested using the IF_MODE command.
