High-Level Screen Management Intrinsic Library (Hi-Li) Reference Manual

About This Manual 

This manual is organized as follows:

Chapter 1:                Provides an overview of the Hi-Li intrinsics
                          and the screen management facility, as well as
                          a brief description of each chapter in the
                          manual.

Chapter 2:                Explains how Hi-Li intrinsics are designed and
                          gives basic rules for using them.  Read both
                          Chapter 1 and this chapter before you begin
                          coding with Hi-Li.

Chapter 3:                Describes each of the 12 intrinsics and their
                          parameters in detail.  Many of the descriptions
                          include brief examples of how to code parameter
                          structures in each of the supported languages.

Chapter 4:                Outlines each of the six data mapping methods
                          that can be used to map data between the
                          application and fields on the form.

Appendix A:               Provides a complete list of error messages,
                          their meanings, and the action you can take to
                          recover from an error.

Appendix B:               Compares Hi-Li intrinsics and VPLUS/V
                          intrinsics.

Appendix C:               Contains sample application programs for COBOL,
                          Pascal and FORTRAN, as well as a discussion of
                          the Hi-Li diagnostic tracing facility.

Appendix D:               Lists the terminals supported by Hi-Li and
                          explains how Hi-Li uses various terminal
                          features.
