Subfile Selector Values

The same meaning is given to each subfile selector value across all function types. The options that are actually enabled depend on the function type. The following standard meanings are used in the default device designs:

*SFLSEL Condition	Meaning	CUA Entry Shipped Values	CUA Text Shipped Values
*Delete#1	Delete	4	-
*Delete#2	Delete	4	-
*Zoom#1	Show details for this item	5	-
*Zoom#2	Show details for this item	5	-
*Select#1	Select this item	1	-
*Select#2	Select this item	1	-
*Selection char value	Select item(s) for action	-	/
*Selection char value 2	Select item(s) for action	-	/

Note: For CUA Text, delete and zoom are on the action bar.

Additional subfile selector values can be specified using the Action Diagram Editor.

Subfile selector values are specified as field conditions attached to the *SFLSEL (subfile selector) field. For functions with an Action Bar, the subfile selection text defaults from the Action Bar accelerators. The standard values are present in the shipped system.

Note: The length of the *SFLSEL field can be either one or two characters; it is shipped with a length of one. Any developer can override the model-wide length for a particular function on the Edit Screen Entry Details panel. A designer (*DSNR) can change the model-wide length of the *SFLSEL field using the Edit Field Details panel.

The following table shows the default selection options by function type.
