There is another solution to avoid hard coded values in GUI items like pop lists and combo boxes.
There is in column definition screen or in RON a check-box named Soft-Lov. If you check it for a column with a domain with allowable values, the generator will generate a record group ( based on table CG_REF_CODES ) which dynamically populates the GUI item.
