HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Self-Paced Training Guide

Final Steps 

You are now ready to perform the final steps required to create the order 
module; generating the module and joining it to the main menu.  Then you
can run the training  application to investigate the capabilities of the
order module.

Module Generation 

Press the  Generate Module  function key to create the order module.

HP ALLBASE/4GL now works through the process required to build and
generate a working module.  When complete HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the
message "Build has completed successfully.  Please press the Return key 
to proceed." When you press Return, HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the module
builder screen.

The Module Building Process.   

The process HP ALLBASE/4GL follows to build the order module can be
summarized into three main steps:

   1.  Creating the resultant screen and the process that calls it.

   2.  Creating all other application items.

   3.  Generating all the module's items.

For more information, refer to the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Reference 
Manual.

Joining the Module to the Main Menu 

Finally you need to add an action item to the main menu which accesses
the order module.  Do this now.

   1.  Use the screen painter to add an action item to the main menu
       which calls the process mb_order.

   2.  Label the action item Order Details.
