ENABLE Commands--Functional Overview
ENABLE commands allow you to describe and define two types of
objects: applications and boxes.
An application represents the SCREEN COBOL requester program, the
associated PATHCOM command file, and the ENABLE supplied server
program. You describe an application by supplying values for
application attributes. The values of application attributes
describe global characteristics of an application such as:
• The name of a PATHCOM command file
• The type of terminal upon which the SCREEN COBOL requester
program runs
All of the ENABLE commands that apply to applications contain an
optional keyword, APPL. When you start ENABLE, the default
object type of all commands is APPL. This means that you do not
have to include the keyword APPL when you enter a command that
applies to an application. Be aware that you can change the
default object type with one of the ENABLE commands.
A box represents a particular data base file to be accessed by an
application. (The term box derives from the box that surrounds
file information on the screen displayed by a multifile
application.) You describe a box by supplying values for box
attributes. The values of these attributes identify the
characteristics of a data base file such as:
