Introduction to Process Commands › Overview

Overview

CA ADS process commands are COBOL-like statements used to construct processing routines for dialogs. These processing routines are stored in the dictionary as process modules. Process commands can perform activities such as:

• Calculate values and move data
• Define and call subroutines
• Access and update database values
• Modify maps and handle pageable maps
• Manage queue and scratch records

A summary of CA ADS process commands is presented below. Details of commands in each command category are given in the remaining chapters of this volume and the next volume.

Information about the INCLUDE directive, which inserts one process module into another at compile time, is discussed in "Including common routines in process modules" later in this section.
