CA ADS and the Online Map Compiler

To exit from the CA ADS application or dialog compiler or the online map compiler, you can use either of these methods:

These methods are discussed as follows.

Select the SWITCH Activity from the Main Menu

To transfer from either of the CA ADS compilers or the online map compiler to other development tools or TCF, select the SWITCH activity from the main menu. The SWITCH activity is only available from the main menu of the CA ADS compilers or the online map compiler.

When you select the SWITCH activity another menu is displayed. You can enter the task or product code for the development tool you want to transfer to from this activity. The table at the end of this section indicates where TCF transfers control depending on how you exit the CA ADS compilers or the online map compiler.

Example

The following example shows how you use the SWITCH activity of the CA ADS application compiler. Remember that the SWITCH activity works the same in both the CA ADS compilers and the online map compiler.

Using a Program Function Key

You can exit only from the main menu screen of the CA ADS compilers and the online map compiler using PF3.

Transferring from CA ADS Compilers or the Online Map Compiler

The way your current CA ADS and map compiler sessions end and TCF transfers control on exit depends on the exit method you use. The following table summarizes what happens when you exit from either CA ADS or the map compiler under TCF.

Each suspended session is saved in a queue record; the length of time queue records are retained is specified at system generation time and can vary from site to site.

Exit Method

TCF Actions

Selecting the SWITCH activity from the action bar of the main menu

  • Suspends your session.
  • Transfers control to the requested development tool. If you do not request a tool, control transfers to:
  • The DC/UCF screen, if you do not have a suspended session
  • The development tool session that you most recently suspended, if you have a suspended session

For more information about SWITCH, see SWITCH.

PF3

  • Terminates your session.
  • Transfers control to your most recently suspended development tool session, or to the DC/UCF screen if you have no suspended sessions.
