• Default property of the Value to allow data values to beset/retrieved

  Mthroutine Name(OnContextChanged) Options(*redefine)
  
• If being hosted in a field
  If (#Context *Is #prim_evp)
  
• Match the edit to the component field state
  #Surname.ReadOnly := (#Context *As #prim_evp).ReadOnly
  #Surname.ShowError := (#Context *As #prim_evp).ShowError
  Endif
  Endroutine
  Evtroutine Handling(#Surname.Changed)
  Signal Event(ValueChanged)
  Endroutine
  Evtroutine Handling(#Surname.AutoCompleting) Value(#Value)
  
• Find the first record matching the entered value
  Select Fields(#Surname) From_File(pslmst2) With_Key(#Value) Generic(*yes)
  #Value := #Surname
  Leave
  Endselect
