Definition

With tabular structures, the behavior and appearance of the presentation object (what you see on the screen) depends on the data structure and the purpose for which the structures are being used. The attribute "Table type" allows you to differentiate between table types. It controls the background color and the selection logic used in the presentation object. You cannot set the attribute in the program dynamically because it defines the main purpose of a table.

Effect

If the option "Entry table" is set, the background color of the table fields corresponds to the standard, i.e. fields which are ready for input have a white background and those which are not have the same color as the screen.

The ability to combine the attribute with other attributes is restricted as follows:

  • "Simple" or "multiple" line selection requires a line selection column
  • Usually, horizontal and vertical separator lines should exist

Usage

You use the "Entry table" type if

  • the table is to be used for entering data. This main purpose is unaffected by the runtime modalities of display, change or entry. From an entry table, you can of course also choose lines or fields for displaying data in detail.
  • the table contains at least one field which is ready for input.
