Definition

The display attribute "Active" has the following effect:

  • A blank entry is converted by the screen processor into the following attribute combination:
    • Input = ' ' (no input possible)
    • Output = ' ' (no output)
    • Invisible = 'X' (field is hidden)
  • If you enter an 'X', these three field attributes are not changed.

It usually makes sense to enter an 'X' here.

Procedure

If a field is deactivated at run-time due to dynamic field modification, modules linked to the field are still processed.

Exception: If the field has supplements in the screen flow logic such as "ON INPUT" or "ON REQUEST", the modules belonging to the deactivated field are not processed.

If two influencing fields work together, the following combination rule applies to the display attribute "Active", where:

Blank means that the field is not selected;
a field is selected if it contains an 'X':

  • Blank and blank makes a blank. The three above attributes are set.
  • Blank plus 'X' means blank. The three above attributes are set.
  • 'X' and 'X' means selected. The field attributes "Input", "Output" and "Invisible" remain unchanged.
