End of Frame

The End of Frame event point executes once for a frame, immediately after the final execution of the image-level event points, before the invocation of any automatic child processes and before the frame ends. It executes for input, output and inquiry processes only.

End of Frame is often used to determine how a frame ends (END, CANCEL, PREVIOUS IMAGE, RETURN, NEXT RECORD, or ACKNOWLEDGE DELETE, for example) by interrogating the predefined field OPTION, and then performing any required action.

Immediately after End of Frame completes, APPX interrogates the INCLUDE CHILDREN predefined field to determine whether or not to skip the automatic children that are associated with the frame. If the INCLUDE CHILDREN predefined field has been preset with a value of N or 0 (no), then the associated automatic children are not executed. This field is defaulted to Y or 1 (yes) and these values are retained unless specifically changed by the designer.
