Defining an SQL Logic Block 

Defining an SQL logic block is similar to defining a function.  You must
define an SQL logic block header, then define the details for the logic
block, and finally, generate the logic block to convert it to an
executable form.

The screens you use to define SQL logic blocks are accessible from the
logic menu.

To create the find_prod SQL logic block, you must first create the logic
block header.  To do this, display the SQL logic block header screen.

This screen is similar in appearance and operation to the function and
process header screens.

Menu Path 

To access this screen: 

   1.  From the main menu, select the Logic option.

   2.  Select SQL Logic Blocks.

   3.  Choose Header.

Screen Description

block for documentation purposes.
