The Main Operations Menu, like all AG menus, is located in the upper right

Figure 3.1
The Application Generator Main Screen and Main Operations Menu.

F1

– General Help

The last two lines of the display contain ‘field specific’ help information at
all times.

Selecting

F1

brings up the context sensitive help system.

F2

– Display To Screen

The Display Menu (

F2

) is used to display text, variables, date or time on the

workstation. It is also used to clear the display.

The size and format of each field is controlled by pressing the plus key (+)
and the minus key (). The arrow keys are used to position the field on the
screen.

Note that if you select a variable to display, make sure to use the plus key (+)
to make the field as long as the data you want to display. If the field is too
small then characters will be truncated.
