Action template syntax
An action template is an ASCII file created with a text editor. The action
template files you create must reside in the /u/ivr/3270 directory or in a
subdirectory below /u/ivr/3270. They must also have the file name extension
.act. For example, if you created an action template called
getbalance.act , it
would have this path:
u/ivr/3270/getbalance.act
The syntax of an action template is shown in Figure 2-3.

Action template syntax
The lines depicted as • represent additional screen templates used in the
transaction. Each screen template corresponds to a specific host application
screen which appears on the terminal during a session. Screen templates are
listed in the action template in the same order as they appear during the actual
terminal session. (Screen templates are discussed later in this chapter). The
example in Figure 2-4 illustrates an action template file which describes a
transaction for retrieving account information. This sample application is
used as a development example throughout this guide.
