MODS Facilities

MODS gives you a powerful set of development tools for building your own, or customizing delivered, applications.

MODS provides you with facilities for defining, customizing, and printing the following application components: panels, menus, lists, reports, help text, messages, commands, criteria and tables.

Programming interfaces are available that let you include these components in your own NCL applications.

Note: Delivered applications should be customized only if this is expressly stated in the application-specific manuals.

The Mapping Services facility provided by MODS lets you provide a logical view of data without needing to understand its physical representation.

The following figure illustrates the components of an NCL application in the MODS environment.
