Messages in List Processing
During list processing, a message of type "W" is converted into type "E" before context-dependent handling takes place. The system then handles the message in accordance with any other context.
With regard to messages, list processing is active in the following contexts:
- In all executable programs called up with
SUBMITas long as no screen sequence called withCALL SCREENis being processed there.
- Following the explicit call of list processing using
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSINGin a screen sequence. The statementLEAVE LIST-PROCESSINGswitches list processing off during a screen sequence.
In programs called using SUBMIT, list processing is therefore active, apart from when actual
list events are being processed, when
reporting events are
being processed. This is especially true for the standard event START-OF-SELECTION.
