Identifying the Applications
Many of the fields in each record description have a DDL HEADING
clause that you can use as a screen-field label when you generate
an application.
DEFINING THE APPLICATIONS TO BE GENERATED
After you create the data dictionary, you can begin to specify
the applications to be generated by performing the following
steps:
1. Identify the purpose of each application.
2. For each application, list the files to be accessed, the
fields that are to appear on the screen, and the operations
that are to be permitted on each file.
3. Determine the format of the screen.
4. Identify any applications for which an automatic read
operation would be appropriate.
5. Identify those applications, if any, that are to call others.
Identifying the Applications
By using the requirements that you determined earlier in the
development process, you can identify the following applications
to be generated:
1. "Project-entry"--an application to enter information about a
project and the events associated with it
2. "Employee-assign"--an application used to enter data that
associates an employee with a particular event
3. "Look-up"--an application that can be used to enter
information about employees, including names and employee
numbers
4. "Project-info"--an application that displays general
information about a project and the events associated it
5. "Event-detail"--an application that displays detailed
information about each event within a project
