Overview
The definition of a dialog (definition block) is basically structured as follows:

//M...
;Dialog start identifier
DEF Var1=...
...
;Variables See chapter "Variables"
HS1=(...)
...
;Softkeys See chapter "Softkey menus"
PRESS(HS1)

END_PRESS
;Method start identifier
;Actions
;Method end identifier

Within the dialog definition block, various variables that appear as dialog elements in the
dialog, as well as horizontal and vertical softkeys, are defined first. Different types of actions
are then configured in methods.
