START-OF-SELECTION

Basic form

START-OF-SELECTION.

Effect

Event keyword:

In an executable program, the corresponding event is processed after the selection screen has been displayed and before data is read using a logical database.

Note

The REPORT statement always executes a START-OF-SELECTION implcitly. Consequently all processing logic between the REPORT statement and the next event keyword is automatically processed in the START-OF-SELECTION event.
Immediately afterwards, the system processes the statements that belong to an explicit START-OF-SELECTION block.
