Using a dialog Menu to prompt for validation

The MENU statement has an optional STYLE attribute that can be set to 'dialog', automatically opening a temporary modal window. You can also define a message and icon with the COMMENT and IMAGE attributes. This provides a simple way to prompt the user to confirm some action or operation that has been selected.

The menu options appear as buttons at the bottom of the window. Unlike standard menus, the dialog menu is automatically exited after any action clause such as ON ACTION, COMMAND or ON IDLE. You do not need an EXIT MENU statement.
