Can the 'CALL_FORM' Procedure Be Used to Call the Same Form itself?

jtomasicAug 14 2009 — edited Aug 18 2009
Hello Everyone,

I recently learned how to use the 'CALL_FORM', 'NEW_FORM' and 'EXIT_FORM' to allow users to return to a previous screen of the calling form, say Form#1, from a called form, say Form#2 with 1.) parameters entered and 2.) query search results generated and displayed previously in Form#1.

I am now facing another challenge: I need to allow users to return to the previous screen with 1.) parameters entered and 2.) query search results generated and displayed previously within the same form(note that I am now dealing with only one form instead of TWO forms). My questions are:

Can I use the 'CALL_FORM' and 'EXIT_FORM' procedures as described in paragraph #1 for this (i.e. the calling and the called form will be the same form)? If I can, how? If I cannot, why not and what are your suggestions to the resolution of my current challenge?

Thanks millions in advance for any/all the help on this,
Jinlan
