Remarks

MDIMode must be one of the following strings:

String	Description
MDI	The legacy MDI mode. Child window is confined to the user area of the MDI Master and the child will be terminated when the MDI master is closed
SDI	The child window is not confined to the user area of the MDI Master. The child may appear behind the MDI master in the windows z-order. The child will be terminated when the MDI master is closed
DETACHED	In BBj 9.0 and Higher. Child is completely independent of the MDI Master and will not be terminated when the MDI master is closed. Child may appear in front of the MDI Master or may appear behind the MDI master.

The default MDIMode may be overridden by setting the MDIMode for a particular session using BBjCommandLineObject.setChildFrameMode() or by adding the –MDI command line option to the command used when doing an SCALL.
