NAME | XQUIT CONTROL |
HEADER | Passing Control To The Application |
TEXT | When an XQUIT is encountered this field is executed. If the XQUIT disappears then the Menu Sytem proceeds along satisfying the user's instructions as if nothing happened. If the XQUIT is not killed then the user will be returned to the previous menu. If XQUIT EXECUTABLE is blank then the users will be shown a [message] before being sent back to where they came from. If there is code in this field, however, no message will be printed on the assumption that the application took care of informing the user. Code can be entered in this field by a programmer, but only by using When the Application (Lab, IFCAP, etc.) defined the variable XQUIT in the screen-based Option Editor, [OPED]. It is not supported by the traditional editor XUEDITOPT. the Entry Action of one of their options, control used to pass to the Menu System and it would prevent the user from running that option. It makes more sense, however, for the application to take control so that problem that caused it to set the XQUIT might be corrected. A new executable field has therefore been added to the Option File to which control will be passed. It is called XQUIT EXECUTABLE: ^DIC(19,Option IEN,21). |
