Chapter 3 Defining Screen Tables : Editing Screen Tables and Screen Fields

Editing Screen Tables and Screen Fields
This section describes the editing functions you can use when editing screen tables and screen fields from the Screen Table Painter. The following editing functions are available:
Adding a Line or Field
To add a blank line or screen field press PF4. Depending on the location of your cursor, the following occurs:
Copying a Line or Literal
PF20 copies the line or literal where the cursor is positioned and holds it until you paste it in a new location.
Cutting a Field or Literal
PF5 cuts the field or literal where the cursor is positioned and holds it until you paste it in a new location. You can cut a field in either area and paste it in the image area.
Pasting a Field, Line, or Literal
You can paste a field, line, or literal that was cut by doing the following:
1.
Refer to Copying a Line or Literal and Cutting a Field or Literal above for information on cutting or copying fields, lines, and literals.
2.
3.
If used in the field definition area, the field(s) is pasted after the field where the cursor is positioned. If pasting a line, the contents are placed after the line where the cursor is positioned. If there is insufficient room, the paste is not performed and the held content is saved for subsequent pasting.
Deleting a Line or Field
You can delete information using two different methods:
You can delete a field using PF18 or PF16 only. If you type over a field in the image area, you are not able to save the screen table. It is restored to the state it was in before being edited when you cancel from the Screen Table Painter.
Using PF16
Use PF16 to delete the screen fields and/or literal text, depending on the location of your cursor:
From the field definition area, PF16 deletes only the field where the cursor is positioned. It does not affect literal text or screen fields.
Using PF18
Use PF18 to delete the field where the cursor is positioned, in either area, or a literal from the image area.
Deleting a Screen Table
To delete a screen table, you can use one of the following two methods:
D line command from the Screen Definer screen. This deletes the screen table only from the screen definition.
PF23 and PF22 from the Screen Table Painter. This deletes the screen table both from the screen definition and from TIBCO Object Service Broker.
Using the D Line Command
The D line command does not delete the screen table definition from TIBCO Object Service Broker. It just removes the screen table from the screen definition. The screen table is still available for use by other screens.
To delete a screen table(s) using the D line command, complete the following tasks:
1.
The screen tables are listed in the Screen Tables section of the screen.
2.
3.
The screen table(s) is deleted from the screen definition.
Using PF23 and PF22
To delete a screen table using PF23 and PF22, complete the following tasks:
1.
2.
This checks the latest version of the TIBCO Object Service Broker Cross Reference Index to determine if any other screens contain the screen table you are about to delete. Pressing PF23 causes one of the following to happen:
No other Screens referenced "Expense_Data" (as of Mar 24, 2001).
If other screens do use the screen table, a separate screen appears displaying a list of the screens that use the screen table you are about to delete.
PF23 is only active from the Screen Table Painter.
3.
PF22 deletes the screen table from the screen definition, and deletes the screen table definition from TIBCO Object Service Broker. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.
