Screen Confusion... Which one to use and why

Anthony007 · November 17, 2021, 6:43am

I have a vexing question about the use of these two options

screenConfusion

Understandibly, the close screen closes the current screen and takes one back to the calling screen. That much is clear.

but say the screen you want to go to is NOT the calling screen and you open another screen. Doesnt that leave a whole pile of screens (tabs)open which should infact be CLOSED?

Thanks

Good question. The Calling/First screen doesnt close until you close it. When you open another screen, close the previous one at the same time

Try like this

nocando

tat would be nice, if you could but you CANNOT

It doesnt accept both???

Pls ref the 3rd post. Both blocks will not accept at a time. But we can do it in procedure. Try the procedure given in the above link

Sorry Dora, io dont understand

?

I know how to call procedures - no problem

so when I want to change screens I call the close_screen procedure. Ok so far

but where is the block you use with the place for the “result”

and what calls the smaller close_screen and why both?
