Application screen for accounting application
Different transactions may access different fields on a screen. For example,
a transaction to locate the payment due would only need to access that field,
while a transaction retrieving the customer’s balance would only need to
access the Current Balance field.
A screen template is an ASCII file created with a text editor. The screen
template files you create must reside in or under the Meridian IVR 2.0/I
/u/ivr/3270 directory and must have the file name extension
.scn
. For
example, if you created a screen template called
customer.scn
, it would have
these paths:
u/ivr/3270/customer.scn
For each accessed field, there should be a field descriptor specified that
governs how data is retrieved from or entered in the field. The screen
template can include both data input entries as well as data output entries.
Screen template syntax
The syntax of a screen template is shown in Figure 2-11.
