All values are passed to the procedure called when the button is pressed;
if you just generate a simple update/insert screen on e.g. DEPT, and examine the
code generated, you'll see what I mean.
The result would be the new page; in a story board kinda' thing it looks like:

Build Screen 1 (This is you initial screen, with possibly the option

     |          to enter values)
     v
     +-----------------------------------> Wait for input & button to be
pressed
                                                  |
Process Input/   <--------------------------------+
Calulate
     |   
     v
Build Screen 2
     | 
     v
     +-----------------------------------> Wait for button to be pressed
                                                  |
Loop to Screen 1   <-------------------------------+


The Build 1/ wait for entry would be module 1, Process/Calculate module 2, and there should be a module network, connecting
the two
