Step 4: Add a Work Record

Process modules that you defined for dialog XXXDUPD use element XXX-WK-FIRST-TIME. To enable the process modules to use the element at run time, you add to the dialog the work record (XXX-WK-RECORD) that contains the element.

Some work records define data to be displayed on the dialog's map. In this case, the work record is automatically added to the dialog when the map is added.

Work record XXX-WK-RECORD does not define data for display on the dialog's map. Therefore, you need to explicitly add the record to the dialog. To do this, you use the ADSC Records and Tables screen.

You access and use the Records and Tables screen as shown:

                               Records and Tables                          Dialog  XXXDUPD   Version     1                                                           Page      1 of     1                                                                       More    Name                             Version    Work    New copy   Drop    xxx-wk-record___________________   ___       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _    ________________________________  ____       _         _        _  Enter  F1=Help  F3=Exit  F4=Prev  F5=Next  F7=Bkwd  F8=Fwd

When you press [Enter], ADSC associates the named work record with the dialog if there are no errors, and then redisplays the Records and Tables screen with a message:

After you successfully associate work record XXX-WK-RECORD with dialog XXXDUPD, you can proceed to add process modules to the dialog.
