Post Dialog Is Initialized

Before the system fires the Post Dialog is Initialized event, the runtime structures contain these values:

  • BC = null (or values already passed in).

  • FC = null (or values already passed in).

  • GC = null (or values already passed in).

  • FI = Values passed from a calling form (if any).

  • PO = Values passed from POs.

This diagram illustrates the information in the runtime structures just before the system fires the Post Dialog Is Initialized event:
