Screen tables are virtual tables used to display the user interface of an application. Each screen is made up of one or more screen tables and these screen tables can be shared among screens.
Screen tables have a table type of SCR and, unlike most table types, they are defined using the Screen Table Painter and not the Table Definer. Screen tables are not used to store data; they are used to access and display data.
Screen fields are the fields used to display data within a screen table. You can define data and presentation attributes to screen fields. As with any other TIBCO Object Service Broker table, each field must be unique within a screen table, although the fields can have the same name as fields within other tables. This makes it easy to share data.
When defining screen fields, if the number of fields exceeds 150, a warning message appears on the Screen Definer screen upon return from the Screen Table Painter. You can change the limit of screen fields in your configuration. For more information on changing your configuration, refer to
