Using Local Procedures
You can create local procedures for Append, Browse, Update, and Menu frames. A local procedure is a 4GL procedure that you can create and use for an individual frame. You can create a maximum of fifty local components (local procedures and local variables).
After you create a local procedure as described below, you write 4GL source code to define its value. You then can use the local procedure:
• In an assigned value for a field on an Append frame
• In a parameter that you pass to another frame
• In escape code
