Administrator Main Menu 

When the administrator application starts, HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the
administrator main menu.


            

Developer Validation 

Before users can use the developer to develop an application, they must
be registered in the HP ALLBASE/4GL administrator as a developer user.
The screens used to define HP ALLBASE/4GL users are accessed from the
user validation submenu of the administrator main menu.  To display the
developer validation screen, select the User Definitions and Security 
option from the main menu.  This displays the user validation menu.
Select the Developer Validation option on this menu to display the
developer validation screen.

You may also want to assign the user an end user name.  This allows the
user to run the application as an end user, rather than as a developer.
To display the End User Validation screen, select the End User Validation 
option from the user validation menu.  Refer to the HP ALLBASE/4GL 
Developer Administration Manual if you need more information about this
screen.


            

Completing the Screen 

Before you complete this screen, check the details.  Your site may have
established standards for developer names, user names, or passwords.

Developer Name. 

Enter the selected developer name in this field.  Developer names can use
alphabetic characters, 0 to 9, and _ (underscore).  The name must start
with an alphabetic character.  HP ALLBASE/4GL is case sensitive with
respect to developer names.  The names administ and developr are reserved
names, and cannot be used as developer names.

Current Password.  No entry is possible at this time as this is a new
entry.  This field is only active if you have already defined a password
for this developer name.

New Password.  This is optional.

If you want to assign a password to this developer name, enter the
password in this field.  Passwords can be up to eight characters long,
and can use alphabetic characters, 0 to 9, and _ (underscore).  The
password must start with an alphabetic character.  HP ALLBASE/4GL is case
sensitive with respect to passwords.

Repeat New Password.  This is optional.

If you entered a password in the New Password field above, you must
repeat exactly the same password in this field.  If you don't re-enter
exactly the same password, HP ALLBASE/4GL generates an error message, and
you must re- enter the password in the New Password field.

Description.  Enter a brief description of the developer used for
documentation purposes.

Press the  Commit Data  function key to create this developer definition.
You can now go on to complete the application definition screen.
