-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. By default, the type of the new line is set to * (comment). Click the Type column and select the line type that corresponds to the task that you want to do. You must then refer to the help that is specific to each task.
Description
The contents of this column vary according to the task that you want to do. 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.

Place the cursor in the column and enter the name directly. To make the input easier, you can open a content assist wizard by clicking Ctrl and the space bar simultaneously. If you start entering a name, the content assist displays the instances that start with this input. If you enter the name of an instance that does not exist and if you validate, the input is discarded.

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.
