Function-level help describes a particular function within an application. Typically, each function-level help file is associated with one of the application’s panels.
Function-level help can also include the following:
A tutorial for the application can consist of just a single help file, or it can refer to other help files through the .CP and .MU macros. If you define a function-level help file called TUTORIAL, CAS automatically assigns a function key to access the tutorial in the Function Key Area on the screen, and display your tutorial file when the user presses that key.
A help index can consist of a menu of all help available for the application (using the .MU macro). If you define a function-level help file called INDEX, CAS automatically assigns a function key to access the index in the Function Key Area on the screen, and display your index file when the user presses that key.
You have to write your own help index file. The help index file typically contains a number of .MU macros that display a menu of help topics from which a user may select. For an example of a help index file, view the INDEX function-level help for the $CA application ID.
Use option H (Help ) on the CAS : Maintenance Menu (/CAS) and specify an application ID to access function-level help. The CAS : Function Level Help List for the selected application appears. This panel lets you maintain function-level help or list field and window-level help for a help function.
For information about the fields and actions on this panel, press F1 (Help).
