PUBLIC CHARACTER DATA-TYPE

associated with the widget
Notes: For example, the DATA-TYPE attribute of a slider widget always
returns the value "INTEGER" because slider widgets can only

PUBLIC LOGICAL MODIFIED

Purpose: Indicates whether the value of the SCREEN-VALUE attribute for the
widget has changed
Notes: For all widgets, the MODIFIED attribute is set to TRUE when the
SCREEN-VALUE attribute for the widget is changed, whether or not
the field is enabled. For all widgets except the editor widget,
the MODIFIED attribute is set to TRUE if the SCREEN-VALUE attribute
for the widget is changed using an ABL statement, such as assignment
or DISPLAY. DISPLAY sets MODIFIED to TRUE only when the field is
enabled. You can then reset the attribute to FALSE for each widget
that can receive input focus or otherwise change value after it is
initially displayed.
For editors, the successful execution of either the SAVE-FILE( ) or
the READ-FILE( ) methods sets the MODIFIED attribute to FALSE.
For browses, if any browse cell changes, the AVM sets MODIFIED to
TRUE. The application can reset MODIFIED to FALSE as necessary. If
the query associated with a browse is reopened, the AVM resets MODIFIED
to FALSE.
You can use the SENSITIVE attribute to reset the MODIFIED attribute.
For example, when the screen-value of a fill-in field is changed,
MODIFIED is set to TRUE. If you then set SENSITIVE to FALSE and then
to TRUE, you enable the fill-in for further input and the MODIFIED
attribute is reset to FALSE.
