6.5 Returning the Selected Customer Number

To pass the selected customer number back to the calling component, you need to create an Entry field to contain the customer number. Next you see how this Entry field is used by other components to retrieve the selected customer number.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select an Entry field part and place it anywhere on the design window.
  2. Open the Properties notebook for the Entry field and name it EF2.
  3. Click on the Data tab and give this field a length of 7. Click OK to save your changes and close the Properties notebook.
  4. Create an action subroutine for the CHANGE event of the entry field. Write NO logic for this action subroutine. Remember to save and close the Editor.
