Global Option Intercept

The Global Option Intercept event point executes immediately after the image-level event point Option Intercept. As a result, it can be used for routines that should execute regardless of which alternate image is selected, so you do not have to repeat such a routine for every image in the frame. Global Option Intercept executes only for input processes, and the Key Entry frame of inquiry processes, and only if the frame includes an image.

Immediately following this event point, APPX interrogates the value in the OPTION predefined field to determine which option the user selected. The OPTION predefined field can be modified by statements in this event point. You can choose to include ERROR statements in the event point to prohibit the selection of a specific option, but ERROR statements in this event point are ignored in inquire mode.
