Creating Messages for the Logic Blocks 

This page describes the messages required by the logic blocks you have
just created.

   1.  Use the Messages selection on the dictionary menu to create these
       messages now.

          a.  Add Option.  The option_key_read function displays this
              message to tell the user that the details for a new option
              may be added.

              Name                add_option
              Type                MESS
              Contents            "New option, number " * ", may be
                                  added."

          b.  Option Doesn't Exist.  The option_key_read function
              displays this message to indicate that a record for the
              option number does not exist.

              Name                opt_not_exist
              Type                ERROR
              Contents            "Record does not exist for option
                                  number"
                                  * "."

          c.  Delete Product Options.  The option_key_read function
              displays this message.  A product cannot be deleted unless
              the options for the product are deleted first.

              Name                del_prod_opt
              Type                ERROR
              Contents            "To delete option 000, "
                                  "you must delete the product."

Now all of the screen and window handling for this application is
complete.  You now need to provide the ability to update the application
data files.  The first item to define is a decision table to invoke the
correct update function.

If you wish, you can use the Test option on the developer main menu to
look at the new product_scrn screen.  However, none of the file
manipulation functions or the scrolling functions will be operational
yet.
