Sub screens

[Stephen Hulbert]

We had this problem.
Unfortunately, that's just not how Axiant works.
It's a paradigm shift.
Each screen is a separate window.
You're either going to have to get used to having a title bar between screen and subscreen, or put the parent fields visible above the child screen on the child screen itself.
Since this latter is no trivial task, I'd advise spending some time reviewing what fields you actually need on the child screens: the criterion used on Powerhouse (as much of the parent as you can) isn't really valid any more.
It's also better to create and use shared forms as much as you can.
Also, a heads up on Axiant vs Powerhouse, ID SAME works differently. If you have a group of fields ID SAME and any of them is conditional this processing will no longer work. The generated "next field" commands will work like "next data" producing unexpected results.
And don't try "backup" (\) in the entry procedure. That doesn't work any more either. Instead of "previous field" it does "return to action; id" which probably won't do what you want if you've required or lookup on fields further down the entry list.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Stephen.

Subject: Sub screens

Hi all,
We are in the process of migrating from Powerhouse to Axiant and are 
having problems trying to display a subscreen.  We had this command in 
powerhouse to display a subscreen on the same screen as the parent - 
"SUBSCREEN C3DATA PASSING C3BTCHED AUTO MODE SAME  REFRESH SCREEN".
When we migrated to Axiant every subscreen is displayed on its own in a 
separate window. Is there a way to get the a subscreen to be displayed 
with the parent screen.  Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
