RESPONSE This keyword sets the prompt response options.  These must use this syntax:

RESPONSE(OPTION[eventToGenerate])

OPTION can be any of these responses:

OK | CANCEL | YES | NO | ABORT | RETRY | IGNORE

The optional parameter eventToGenerate is the event that is generated if this response is selected by the user.

Example:

RESPONSE(OK(PromptOK),CANCEL())

This example displays a prompt dialog with OK and Cancel buttons, and the OK button generates the PromptOK event in the calling form.

ICON This optional keyword sets the icon to display in the prompt dialog.

The parameter can be one of these icons:

DEFAULT | ERROR | WARNING | QUESTION

The parameter corresponds to one of the standard framework icons.

Example:

ICON(QUESTION)

If omitted, the icon is set to DEFAULT (blue circle with a white "i" in the center).

DEFAULTRESPONSE This optional keyword sets the default response button.

The parameter can be one of these responses:

OK | CANCEL | YES | NO | ABORT | RETRY | IGNORE

Example:

DEFAULTRESPONSE(OK)

The default response parameter must be one of the buttons specified in the RESPONSE keyword.

Parameter:
