Creating a Modeless Form Interconnection

To create a modeless form interconnection:

1. On Event Rules Design for the find/browse form that you want to use (the source), select an event.

2. Click the Form Interconnect button.

3. On Work with Applications, select the application to which you are connecting.

   Work with Forms displays available forms for the chosen application.

4. Select the form to which you want to connect (the target).

   The Form Interconnect - Values to Pass window displays the data structure for the target form.

5. Select the version of the fix/inspect form to which you want to connect.

   The Data Item column displays data items in the data structure of the target form. The keys in the primary unique index, for the primary table of the BV, are automatically set up as the data structure.

6. Select the Modeless option. With Release 9.2.1, select Modeless from the Form Interconnect drop-down list.

7. In the Available Objects column, select objects that you want to pass and move them to the Data Structure-Value column.

8. Indicate the direction of data flow between Value and Data Items.

   As you click the direction arrow, it toggles through these options:

   • Data flows from the source to the target.

   • Data flows from the target to the source.

   • Data flows from the source to the target and, upon exiting the target, data flows back to the source.

   • No data flow.

9. Click one of these buttons to add notes:

   • Structure Notes

   • Parameter Notes

10. After you define the data structure, click the OK button.

    Event Rules Design displays the form interconnect with this statement:
