Application Structure

Defining an Application Structure

An CA ADS Batch application structure can be defined using the application compiler. As with online applications, you define the application structure in terms of functions, responses, task codes, and global records.

Batch application structures differ from online application structures in the following ways:

• Certain functions, such as menu functions, are disallowed.
• Flow of control is slightly different.
• Application structures have a special use in accessing multiple record layouts for input files.

These differences are discussed separately below.
