INTERACTIVE PHASE

This field is set during input processes and indicates which data entry phase is currently in force. It works with the predefined field MODE and, although they work together, each has a specific use.

MODE is determined when the user selects an input process from a menu and selects a mode option (ADD, CHG, DEL, or INQ). INTERACTIVE PHASE determines what the user may do while in that mode. For example, if you are in add mode entering data into a scrolling frame, you can move the cursor to a previously added record and select the change item option. At this time you will still be in add mode, but the interactive phase will change from data addition to data modification.

          IF       --- INTERACTIVE PHASE          EQ     DATA ADDITION
          AND      --- ENTRY LEVEL                EQ     1
    T     SET      TAP WORK VENDOR NO             =  TAP VENDOR NO
