Description

The POSTMENU trigger procedure executes a procedure whenever a menu is exited from within the format file. The SET POSTMENU TO <procedure-name> command defines the procedure or program name to be executed. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. The SET POSTMENU trigger can also be defined from within the SCREEN PAINTER work surface. The POSTMENU procedure option from the TRIGGERS menu is used to define the trigger name. The [HELP] key may be pressed here to edit the trigger file from inside the SCREEN PAINTER. The SET POSTMENU TO command clears the active <program/procedure>.


Example

procedure post_proc
  use employee
  set format to employee
return
 
clear
clear all
set exclusive off
 
use company
set form to company
set postmenu to post_proc
edit
return
