Documentation

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 affects 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 "Selection table" is set, all table fields have a white background. The system imposes no restrictions on how you can combine it with other attributes, but you there are certain attribute combinations for specific purposes (see below).

Usage

You use the "Selection table" type if

  • the table is used exclusively for selecting and accepting entries or
  • the table is displayed exclusively in display mode

Combination with other attributes

  • The attribute "Line selection column" should be set if
    • several lines can be selected at the same time (i.e. attribute "multipleline selection" is set) or
    • there are several independent cells (columns) which can themselves be selected or
    • you want the selection of the line to remain visible as a setting when the function is next called.
  • The attribute "Line selection column" should not be set if
    • only one line at a time can be selected (i.e. attribute "single line selection" is set) and
    • the entire line is a logical unit and does not consist of cells which can be individually selected.
  • The attributes "horizontal/vertical separator lines" should not be used.
