Detail Frame Application
A detail frame application is the easiest application to develop. The control frame uses the callframe statement to open each of the detail frames. No communication between the frames is necessary because only one frame is active at a time. The control, or parent, frame is blocked by the detail, or child, frames.
You can use the callframe statement parameters to get information from the child frames back to the parent. To return to the control frame and select another task, the user must close the detail frame.
