Summary
In this lesson you defined the main menu for the training application.
Menus allow users to control the application by selecting the item they
want. HP ALLBASE/4GL can execute the following types of actions as a
result of user selections from a menu:
* A further menu or a data screen.
* A function or a process.
* A help screen.
* A background process.
* A report.
* An external program.
Creating menus requires two steps:
1. Use the screen header screen to define the menu header.
This defines details such as the menu name, and the names of the
function key set and help screen associated with the menu. The
screen header also allows you to enter a description of the menu.
2. Use the screen painter to create the menu image.
The screen painter allows you to define text literals, action
items and system items on a menu.
Menus are automatically saved when you exit from the screen painter.
Menus don't need to be generated.
