Screen form change mode
The current screen form is discarded, the new screen form is loaded
and displayed. On EXIT (see EXIT function) you will be rerouted to
the standard application. You can use the MSx parameter to
determine whether or not the current screen form should be
terminated when changing screen forms. If the current screen form is
retained, variables can be transferred to the new screen form.
