HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Administration Manual

Master Title Definition Screen 

This screen allows you to define master titles.  A master title is a
literal that can be referenced by all developers for use on screens or
reports.  You can access this screen from the System Specs option on the
main menu.

Field Descriptions 

Title Name.  Enter the name used to identify the title.  The name can
have up to 16 characters.  The name must start with an alphabetic
character and can use alphabetic characters, 0 to 9, and _ (underscore).

Contents.  Enter the text of the title, as it is to be displayed.  The
title can have up to 60 characters.  You can use any printable
characters, including spaces.  Don't use quotes (") unless you want them
to be part of the title.

Additional Information 

Application developers can reference master titles from the screen
painter and report painter in the developer application.  In addition,
application developers can reference master titles from some logic
commands in logic blocks in an application.

When HP ALLBASE/4GL encounters a reference to a master title (in the form
M- titlename), it first searches for a local application title with the
same name.  If the developer has not defined a local application title,
HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the contents of the master title.
