Across the Boards - XAPI - Terminal Access and Control
Sample Application - RequirementsThe following mainframe application can easily be front-ended using Across the Boards. A user processing directly from a mainframe terminal would proceed as follows:A user at a 3270 signs on to CICS and invokes this application, selecting the appropriate function from the main menu.
If the user wanted to enter an invoice, the user would enter "1" on the main menu screen, and then type the account number for the invoice, and press "Enter" on the "Invoice Entry" screen. If the account is found, the mainframe application displays the name and address associated with the account and assigns an invoice number. The user then enters the line items for the invoice and finally hits Enter again.
If the account is not found, the user would press "Clear" to return to the main menu and "2" to get to the "Add Account" screen. The user would then add the account, press "Clear" to return to the main menu, select "1" to return to the "Invoice Entry" screen, and finally enter the invoice.
