Normally RUNMODAL is useful in FORMS and Reports.

In Forms you use it when you want to accept a value from a form. For example

IF Form.runmodal(Form::<FormName>,Rec) = Action::LookupOk then
<field> := Rec.<Field Value>

In Report you use it when you want to run a report using a printer selection or directing a report to a specific devic.

Before using a Runmodal you must use the COMMIT syntax, otherwise you cannot run the form or report in Run modal.

It's true. The second difference is: When you run object modally, your code will wait for closing called object, but nonmodal calling calls the object and your code will continue on next line.
