Redefine Screen Objects

You can redefine objects positioned on a screen only from the screen. Similarly, you can redefine objects positioned on a template only from the template.

If you change the display length or edit pattern of a positioned occurrence of an attribute in a repeating group, all occurrences change. If you change the field or error properties, only the selected occurrence is changed.

When you change the width of a positioned field in a repeating group, avoid a length that extends the field past column 80. CA Gen wraps fields extending past column 80 to the next line.

You cannot change a protected prompt in a subset unless you have delete authority on the screens or procedure steps that use the prompt.
