Testing Screens

When you want to view and interact with the screen you have designed, use the Build > Execute command. If there are multiple screens in your program, AcuBench generates the code to execute just one of them. Although Screen Section entries and DISPLAY statements are added to the generated code for every screen, only the first screen's code is executed automatically. To test additional screens, you have two options:

• Add code, associated with a push button or other control, to call the remaining screens in your program:

  PERFORM Acu-LookupScreen-Routine.

• Use the Program Properties interface to change the main screen for the program. AcuBench generates the code to execute whichever screen is currently set as the main screen.

To change the default screen displayed at runtime:

1. Right-click the program node in the Structural view and select Properties.
2. Under On program startup, set main screen to, select a screen from the drop-down list.
3. Click OK to save your changes. When you execute your program, the selected screen is displayed.
