Thank Stiloabarthian,

This is the keyword I was looking for. I’m all set.

There is a mouse button keyword in DDS – MOUBTN. You can specify which button, single or double click. Check out the DDS Reference for Display Files.

Ah! So you’re simply looking for something like mouse-click enablement? E.g., click on the EmployeeNumber field in a display file and perhaps a pop-up window format is displayed that shows the Employee Details window? Something like that?

If not, can you provide a specific “use case”? Mouse enablement has been around for quite a few years.

Thanks Tom,

Actually what was requested was to have a “hyperlink functionality” on a As/400 green screen. I need the ability to be able to click a field on a as/400 green screen and execute some type of logic.

I’m not sure if this is even possible. I didn’t know if there was any keywords in DDS that would allow this or a BIF. The only way that I know of to try and create something like “hyperlink functionality” is by position the cursor on the screen and then take a command key.
