Dialog Manager

The Transaction Manager is named as the Dialog Manager for online (character-based) applications.

For online applications with screens, a Screen Manager is generated for every procedure step. The Screen Manager is called by the Dialog Manager to perform functions such as input parsing, function key translation, input/output view mapping, scrolling and Help/Prompt command processing. The Screen Manager calls runtime routines to edit input and output, and write output buffers.
