Development > Script dictionary > Actions > Action parameters 

This function is used to define the parameters used in the actions dictionary. As a function of the context that calls the action, the value of the parameters will be entered in one of the following dictionaries :

 Function : action called from a menu

 Window : action linked to a button at the bottom of the screen or in the menu bar

 Screen : action linked to a field

 Screen (menu contextual to data type) : action linked to a data type

Note
When two actions with an identical parameter are linked to a field, a single value will be requested on the entry of this parameter.
