Field help (ACLDEPCTL)

This field is only entered if the type is mandatory value.

In this case, it is possible to link the choice list proposed to a choice previously made for another field in the same screen, itself controlled by another control table to whom the code is given, and which uses in one of its controls a first choice list.

It is then possible to associate, in the values table that follows, a value controlled by one of the values in the linked control table (if no value is entered in the dependent value column, the code entered can be used irrespective of the value controlled in the dependency table).

This mechanism is similar to the dependencies defined in themiscellaneous tables, but it introduces a constraint: in fact, this type of "dependant" table can only be used in the control table allocation in screen management (by entering a value in the column control table, a window opens, in order to enter an expression defining the control value in the context).
