To make a menu available during a READ MODAL command, issue a DO

<menuname>.mpr command in the WHEN clause of the READ for the modal screen

for which that menu is supposed to be active.

You could also do this as follows:

1. In the Cleanup code for the menu, issue the command:

      SET SYSMENU SAVE

2. In your screen, add the following lines to the indicated snippets:

      Setup code:   DO <menuname>.mpr

      READ WHEN:    SET SYSMENU TO DEFAULT
