SXA and SXB — Folders and standard lookups

Distinguishes field grouping from selection lookups.

SXA and SXB — Folders and standard lookupsAdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

The official map assigns field folders/grouping to SXA and lookups to SXB. These are presentation/query metadata rather than business transaction tables. Investigate grouping for misplaced fields and the lookup/field relationship for incorrect selection. Visual configuration does not replace processing validation. The in-memory map is a diagnostic outline, not an SX read or modification API. (Sources: refs. 1–1.)

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"

User Function Ed686()
    Local aMap := {{"SXA","Folders and grouping"},{"SXB","Selection lookups"}}
    Local nItem
    // Teaching map; neither reads nor changes dictionaries.
    For nItem := 1 To Len(aMap)
        ConOut(aMap[nItem][1]+": "+aMap[nItem][2])
    Next
Return Nil

Expected result

Displays two conceptual in-memory relationships. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Test navigation, selection, cancellation and authorization with different profiles. Do not directly edit metadata solely to fix one screen.
