RUNMODAL Function (Page)
Creates, opens, and closes a page that you specify. When a page is run modally, no input, such as a keyboard or mouse click, can occur except for objects on the modal page.
Syntax
[Action :=] Page.RUNMODAL
Parameters
Page
Type: Variable
After you define this variable, you can run the following page functions:
SETTABLEVIEW
SETRECORD
GETRECORD
RUN
RUNMODAL
Unlike the PAGE.RUN Function, the variable is not automatically cleared after this function runs.
If the page that you specify does not exist, then a compile-time error occurs.

Remarks
If you know the specific page that you want to run when you are designing your application, then you can create a Page variable, set the Subtype of the variable to a specific page, and then use this function or the RUN Function (Page).
If you do not know the specific page that you want to run, then use the PAGE.RUN Function or the PAGE.RUNMODAL Function and specify the page in the Number parameter.
After you define the page variable, you can use it before and after you run the page. If you use the PAGE.RUN Function, then you can only use the variable before you run the page.
Example
This example shows how to use this function. Assume that the SomePage variable has been defined as Page 1.
CLEAR(SomePage)
SomePage.XXX; // Any user-defined function
SomePage.SETTABLEVIEW(MyRecord);
SomePage.SETRECORD(MyRecord);
IF SomePage.RUNMODAL = Action::LookupOK THEN
SomePage.GETRECORD(MyRecord)...
Note
This code example includes the CLEAR Function to make sure that the variable has been cleared.
