Processing Available Objects

When an available object is changed through ER, these actions occur:

  • The object in the internal runtime structure is changed.

  • If the object is a form control or grid cell, row, or column, the screen is updated with the new value.

A BV form control shares the same value as the corresponding business view item. (Filter fields are an exception to this rule.) This means that:

  • FC data and BC data are always identical.

  • Whenever FC data is changed, BC items are changed to the same value.

  • Whenever BC values are changed, the FC runtime values also changes to the same values. This change may not immediately reflected to the screen.

  • On Control is Exited processing, the value entered into the form control is captured in both the BC and FC item for that control.
