Dialog and Program Operations

Pageable maps are used at runtime by CA ADS dialogs and application programs. Specifications for a dialog or program determine how a pageable map can be used at runtime. For example, options specified for a map-paging session determine whether the operator can page backward or update information on the map.

Specifications and statements in a dialog or program perform the following functions at runtime. These specifications and statements are discussed separately as follows:

Note: The CA ADS runtime system (which executes CA ADS dialogs) and the DC runtime system (that executes application programs) are both referenced by the term program runtime system in the remainder of this section. The term runtime mapping system refers to a separate part of the runtime system that handles only mapping functions at runtime.
