Creating a Pop-up Form Interconnection (Release 9.2.1)

To create a pop-up form interconnection:

  1. On Event Rules Design, 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).

  5. Select the version of the 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 Pop-up from the Form Interconnect drop-down list.

  7. In the Available Objects column, select the object that you want to pass and move it 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.

    • Upon exiting the target, data flows back to the source.

    • No data flows either way.

  9. Select the Include in Transaction option to include this interconnection for transaction processing.

    This option is available for entry only if you are calling from a fix/inspect, header detail, or headerless detail form.

  10. Click one of these buttons to add notes:

    • Structure Notes

    • Parameter Notes

  11. After the data structure is defined, click the OK button.

    Event Rules Design displays the form interconnect with this statement:

    Call (Application <name> Form <name>)
    
Note: If you use a pop-up interconnection when calling an external form, it will not be honored at runtime. The external form will always display as a full screen.
