2-11 Continuous and Overlapping Screens

You can combine previously created multiple screens into a continuous screens by linking them or into one screen by stacking them into overlapping screens. To make continuous screens, first one screen is designated as the parent screen, and then child screens and the screen scrolling unit are set for the parent screen. To make overlapping screens, first one screen is desig- nated as the parent screen, and then child screens are designated for the parent screen.

Setting the Parent Screen On the Screen Selection Display, move the bar cursor to a screen number for which no data is entered, and press F8 (continuous/overlapping screens).

 

If you designate a screen for which data is already registered, a message will

 

appear asking whether you want to delete that data. If you do want to delete

 

it, then press the Enter Key.

 

To return to the Screen Selection Display, press the Escape Key.

 

If the designated screen is already a parent screen, its contents (the child

 

screens) can be edited.

Selecting Continuous or

Specify whether the designated parent screen is to be used for continuous or

Overlapping

overlapping screens.

 

Continuous and overlapping screens are explained separately below.

Note

In cases such as the following, a message will be displayed indicating that

 

screen data could not be created. If that happens, press any key and then

 

again select the child screens again.
