Sequencing Through Application Compiler Screens

Application compiler screens prompt the application developer for information about an application. The developer can sequence through the application definition steps or request a step in the process explicitly.

The primary steps involved in creating an application are shown below. The developer can either choose the next step from the Main Menu screen or move through the steps from screen to screen using [PF5].
