Questions

Questions are language independent software components used to ask questions to which the user must respond. At runtime, the questions are displayed in the language specified for the current user.

For example, if you change the name of an employee in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, this question is displayed: Rebuild Search key? You must respond by clicking Yes or No.

For each question, you can specify this information:

  • The unique question name that identifies the question across all languages.
  • The question type, such as "Warning".
  • The question. This is the question text as it is shown when activated. The question text can contain codes that are substituted when the question is displayed. For details on substitution symbols, see the description of the sprintf$() function in the Infor ES Programmers Guide (Infor Customer Portal KB2924522).
  • The domain belonging to the question, and the default answer. The domain determines the possible answers to the question. The domain must have the Enumerated data type.

This table shows a sample question:
