3. Run the Converter
To provide a common look and feel for all the web pages, the example provides default
values for background color, foreground color, font type, and font size. For the
background parameter, you could choose a color or a .gif file that contains the
company logo.
Specifying default locations for Java and HTML files in the Convert Environment
section allows you to save the converted files in a well-known location.
Details about the converter configuration file are given in the description of the
CONVERT command in the Pathway/iTS SCUP Reference Manual .
3. Run the Converter
Next, convert the SCREEN COBOL files to a web client. You invoke the converter by
bringing up the SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP) from a HP Tandem
Advanced Command Language (TACL) prompt:
TACL> SCUP
SCUP displays its starting banner followed by a question-mark prompt. Optionally, you
can redirect the output of the SCUP program to a file by using the OUT command or by
specifying the OUT option while invoking the SCUP program. If OUT is specified,
messages from the converter will be redirected to that file.
At the question-mark prompt, you enter the SCUP CONVERT command, which is
described in detail in the Pathway/iTS SCUP Reference Manual . For the sample
application, you could enter this CONVERT command:
?CONVERT invy (*(1)), INITPROG LOG1, CONFIGFILE mycfg, &
APPNAME inventory
