Cursor Status Line

The cursor status line is located between the Display and Information
windows. This line displays the current row and column of the cursor.
Also listed is the character at that position along with the character
ASCII code in hex and decimal formats. Confirm character codes by
placing the cursor under the character and reading the code from the
cursor status line.

The following example shows the character C at row 2, column 15.

Moving Around Screens

DPS uses menus to guide you through the application development
process. Select a menu item and the next menu or screen is displayed.
The standard keyboard operations are:

Linking Application
Screens

MicroView application files allow you to present screens in a
meaningful sequence, a hierarchy of possible tasks and operations.
To do this, you will need to specify a link for each screen.

The linking function is the basis of a MicroView operator terminal’s
power and flexibility. When screens are linked, the MicroView
becomes an interactive operator workstation, one that can guide an
operator through a hierarchy of operations. This hierarchy can be as
simple or as complicated as your application requires.

Note: All application screens must be created before they can be
linked.
