Description: |
These tags are generated when you compile your functions that may have more than one mode of operation for a particular screen display. These tags instruct LANSA to carry out various screen instructions (the lines encapsulated by these tags) based on the current mode of operation. The valid values for <mode> are:
These tags are used internally by LANSA Web functions. You should not modify these tags.

The ONMODE tags are used in the HTML generated for a LANSA Web function when there is more than one mode of operation for a particular screen display. For example, an RDML DISPLAY statement may have ADD, CHANGE, DELETE and DISPLAY modes.
Consider the following example:
<h2>Employee Number: </h2>
<RDML ONMODE="ADD">
<input type="text" name="EMPNO" size="5" value="" />
</RDML>
<RDML ONMODE="DIS">
<RDML MERGE="EMPNO">
</RDML>
If the DISPLAY is in an ADD mode, the user will be expected to enter a value for EMPNO so the following HTML is sent to the user's browser:
<input type="text" name="EMPNO" size="5" value="" />
but when information is only being displayed to the user, the following instruction is used:
<RDML MERGE="EMPNO">
which simply displays EMPNO as an output field in the user's browser.
