The DEACTIVATE clause in the READ command is not executed when
another window is brought forward.
The window being brought forward is not a window in the current
READ level or the window being brought forward is launched from a
VALID, WHEN, DEACTIVATE, ACTIVATE, or SHOW clause.
Do one of the following:
- Use the READ..WITH clause to include in the READ command the
window being brought forward.
-or-
- Put the windows in a screen set with a single READ command.
-or-
- In the setup code or in some procedure other than the VALID,
WHEN, DEACTIVATE, ACTIVATE, or SHOW clauses, define and activate
the window to be brought forward.
The DEACTIVATE clause requires a logical expression that determines whether the READ command is terminated. If the logical expression is true (.T.), the READ command is terminated; if the logical expression is false (.F.), the READ command is not terminated.
