Overview
Events are key assignments. They define the association of keys and key combinations to program functions depending on system state and user.
Characteristic Features of Events
- Function calls for keys are userexits or event macros.
- Keys can be used twice ([key] only or [Shift + key]).
- Keys can be assigned to functions depending on the system state.
- Keys can be assigned to functions depending on the user. Users of your application are either all users (GLOBAL) or one certain user.
- Events assigned to the user SYSTEM are reserved for DataView itself. They are also valid in each application without any limitations.
- You can copy system events and user-specifically assign the corresponding key with another function. If this was done, the original function defined for SYSTEM will not be available to the user any longer.
