Start of instruction setAccessible Using

  1. "Dialog > Parameter Data Area/Local Data Area"; or

  2. CTRL+ALT+P/L, or (for LDA's) by selecting 'Local Data Area...' from the dialog's context menu.


Purpose

Enter inline data definitions for a dialog. In a parameter data area, you must include all the parameters that you want to be passed on to the current dialog in an OPEN DIALOG or SEND EVENT statement. In a local data area, you must include all the user-defined variables or other variables that you want to use in an event handler code section or a subroutine of the current dialog. Note that the dialog editor automatically generates the data definitions for the dialog elements.

The "Using" button opens a dialog box that allows you to include existing inline data definitions.
