| Query by example (CONSTRUCT) / Using query by example | |
When an CONSTRUCT instruction executes, the runtime system creates a set of default actions.
According the invoked default action, field validation occurs and different CONSTRUCT control blocks are executed.
This table lists the default actions created for this dialog:
| Default action | Description |
|---|---|
| accept | Validates the CONSTRUCT dialog (validates field criteria) Creation can be avoided with ACCEPT attribute. |
| cancel | Cancels the CONSTRUCT dialog (no validation, INT_FLAG is set) Creation can be avoided with CANCEL attribute. |
| close | By default, cancels the CONSTRUCT dialog (no validation, INT_FLAG is set) Default action view is hidden. See Implementing the close action. |
| help | Shows the help topic defined by the HELP clause. Only created when a HELP clause is defined. |
