A complete sample transaction
This section summarizes how the sample accounting application would start
up, retrieve a customer’s balance and reset for the next transaction. The
sample transaction uses these templates in the following way:
• The initial-action template logs on to the host computer and starts up the
“acct” application.
• The action template chooses the “Accounts Receivable” option from the
application’s menu and retrieves a customer’s balance.
• The reset-action template returns to the application’s menu screen and
waits for the next transaction.
• The logout-action template is included in case an error occurs at any time
during the transaction.
Initial-action template
Once the TRS process is invoked, the initial-action template acctinit.act
brings the session assigned to the accounting application to the menu screen.
Figure 3-9 shows the initial-action template, its supporting screen templates
and the corresponding screens on the host computer.
