Setting Runtime Parameters

Parameters are variables that are set to control the execution of RM/Panels. Two types of parameters are used with RM/Panels standard runtime functions:

Some optional parameters are controlled by SET statements. The following example sets an optional parameter for the DISPLAY PANEL standard runtime function that displays field/control values along with panel text.

Example

SET RMP--SHOW-FIELDS TO TRUE.

Other optional parameters are controlled by MOVE statements. The following example sets a required parameter for the DISABLE FIELD FOR INPUT standard runtime function. This parameter identifies which field/control to disable.

Example

MOVE "CUSTOMER-NUMBER" TO RMP--FIELD-NAME.

All the parameters for RM/Panels standard runtime functions are listed in Appendix B, Standard, Utility, and Extended Runtime Functions and Parameters, and are contained in the master copy file, RMPANELS.WS; see Appendix A, Master Copy File RMPANELS.WS for a description of RMPANELS.WS.
