Specifying Parameters for an Action Function

If there are any parameters for the called function, you can specify which fields from which contexts within the calling function are to be passed as parameters. To do so, press F9.

If the function has more than eight parameters, a parameter selection field appears in the header. Press F15 to display undefined parameters. Press F15 again to display only those parameters that are defined with a context other than NLL. Press F15 again to display all parameters.

Note: Changes do not occur when pressing F15. The ENTER key must be pressed to confirm any changes to an action.

When Action Function parameters are undefined, the default model context appears in the upper right corner where you can change it. For example, if the model default is the WRK context you can change the value to LCL or NLL context and press F10=Default parms.

Calling a Function with a Parameter Passed as Array

When there is only one item passed as array, as in the above example, Ctx defaults to PAR.

For more information on parameter usage see the Parameter Usage matrix.
