-GE Lines in a Screen or a Dialog

You can replace the automatically generated error messages, declare explicit error messages, or specify help on a Screen, a Data Element or an error message. These lines are associated with a Dialog or a Screen (standard or client Screen).

Error
This column displays a dot on all the existing description lines that are not empty.

Moreover, if this line is not correct, this column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the severity of the error. A hover help indicates the source of the error.

Type
Click Add and select one of the possible types, which vary according to the task you want to perform. You must then refer to the help that is specific to each task.
Description
The contents of this column vary according to the task you want to perform. You must then refer to the help that is specific to each task.
Link
You use this column to call a Data Element, a Segment, or a Text. If you click the icon in this field, you will be able to select an instance, which will then be automatically displayed in Description.

Click the Link field and the selection icon to display the instances available for the selected line type. Select one of them and click OK. This instance is then displayed in the Link field. To copy it out to the Description field, click the Question mark icon.

You must then generate the error messages. To do so, you must create an Error Message instance and associate it with the Dialog. The Error Message instance groups the generation options of the error messages for this Dialog. You must then generate the Error Message instance.
