The DoModal function displays a secondary page.
Secondary pages are modal, meaning that the user must dismiss the secondary
page before continuing work in the page from which the secondary page was
called.If you call DoModal without specifying a level number or any record
parameters, the function uses the current context as the parent.We can
alternately specify a secondary page in a command push button definition
without using PeopleCode. This may be preferable for performance reasons,
especially with Web client code. DoModal can display on a single page. To
display an entire component modally, use DoModalComponent. Any variable
declared as a Component variable will still be defined after using a DoModal
function.
While a TransferPage transfers
control to the page indicated by PAGE. page_name within,
or to the page set with the SetNextPage function. The page that you
transfer to must be in the current component or menu. To transfer to a
page outside the current component or menu, or to start a separate instance of
PeopleTools prior to transfer into, use the Transfer function.
Note. You can’t use TransferPage
from a secondary page. Any variable declared as a Component variable will still
be defined after using a TransferPage function.
