Nucleus Modifiers

The ID-SUPP modifier suppresses the prompt for the ITEM-ID on entry to a Nucleus screen. The screen initializes in a NEW item mode.

ID-SUPP

• Should appear towards the end of the script before the COMPILE directive.
• When ID-SUPP is employed in a script, ITEM-IDs are automatically generated at file time, and are not available in the associated subroutine until after the item is filed.
