Creating Application Screens 

To create an application screen: 

   1.  Create the screen header using the screen header screen.
       The screen header defines the screen name, its type and
       characteristics.  The screen header also defines the name of the
       first help screen and function key set assigned to the screen.

   2.  Use the screen painter to lay out the screen image as it will
       appear to the user.  The screen painter is a program that lets you
       design and modify the layout of a screen freely to suit the needs
       of your application.

   3.  For data screens and windows, use the screen fields detail screen
       to define the attributes of each field on the application screen
       image you created with the screen painter.

   4.  Use the function keys screen to define the text and purpose of the
       function keys associated with the application screen.

You must generate data screens and windows before the application can use
them.
