Runtime Menu and Help Screens

The CA ADS runtime system builds and displays menu and help screens for application functions. These screens display valid responses for a function and allow the user to select a response.

Note: Online help does not support terminal access methods that do not provide the READ BUFFER functions (for example, VTAM does provide this function; TCAM does not). Terminals running under a method that does not support READ BUFFER are detected, and invocation of HELP at runtime is ignored.

Menu screens and the application help screen are discussed separately below.
