11-2 Linking Menu and Application Screens

Linking Menu Screens

Menu and sub-menu links provide one way links with up to 8
application screens or sub-menus. An operator selects a menu item
by pressing the numeric key corresponding to the menu item. When
you link the main menu and sub-menu items you are linking screens
to the keys on the numeric keypad.

Screen Linking Guidelines

The following rules apply to linking screens:

Only screens that are already defined can be linked.

Wait until you have developed all of your screens and menus
before establishing links. It is much easier to create your links
once, rather than change them whenever you change the order
of screens.

A non-menu screen cannot be linked back to a menu screen,
use a Goto (one way) link instead.

A link is a one-to-one relationship between the current screen
and the target screen. You cannot establish more than a single
one-way link to any particular screen.

If you attempt to link to a destination screen that is already linked,
you have the option of inserting the screen (changing the current link)
or aborting the operation.
