Note:
When identifying a new screen, the screen name is taken from the area you defined in the Screen Creation Definitions. If a screen with this name already exits, the newly identified screen's name will be the name as of the existing screen followed by an incremental number. If the area you defined in the Screen Creation Definitions is empty, the screen will be named: "Screen" and then an incremental number.
