Chapter 4-7: Predefined Fields and Processes

NEXT CHILD ID

This field can be set to choose which child process will be invoked next.

If it is set in the End of Frame event point on a frame having automatic child processes, the first child process defined with a CHILD ID that matches NEXT CHILD ID will be invoked. Once that child has been completed, processing will continue normally.

If this field is set in the Pre- Invocation event point, processing will immediately skip to the first child encountered that has a matching CHILD ID.

If this field is set in the Post Invocation event point, the next child process to be invoked will be the first child process encountered where CHILD ID matches NEXT CHILD ID.

There are two special CHILD IDs: “+” means move to the next (or first) child; “-” means move to the previous (or last) child. These IDs are automatically set by APPX but can be overridden using statements. They can also be interrogated to determine the direction of process flow.
