VPLUS is an HP tool used by programmers to design screens
and implement an on-line application to collect and display information.
With VPLUS, you are able to design screens which prompt the user
for input in familiar business terms. VPLUS intrinsics are available
to help you develop a customized application.
This note is intended for programmers who want to understand
the purpose of each intrinsic and the sequence of calls. For each
intrinsic, a discussion of the passed parameters, some programming
tips, and some details of what the intrinsic does is presented.
Also included is a summary of VPLUS enhancements which can make
an existing or new application easier to use. A brief synopsis is
presented on each enhancement. For more details on their use, please
refer to the HP Data Entry and Forms Management System
(VPLUS/V) Reference Manual. Note that in the remainder
of this paper, this manual will be referred to as the VPLUS/V
Reference Manual.
This Application Note covers two topics to help you code your
application.
This note assumes that the reader has some basic knowledge
of the HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS).
