Interface Work Areas for Logical Databases
The following statement declares an interface work area intended for use with logical databases only:
The statement NODES
must be listed both in the
database program of the logical database and in the
executable program
associated with the logical database. In the database program, NODES
determines
which data can be passed from the logical database. In the executable program, NODES
determines the data received and also controls the creation of the selection screen of the logical database.
If flat structures are used, the statement TABLES
can also be used.
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Notes
- If you no longer use logical databases, then you no longer require the statement
NODES
.
- If you still want to use logical databases, use
NODES
instead ofTABLES
. This specifies clearly that the interface is intended for logical databases.
