Requesters

REG requesters display the application screen that you specify in the SCREEN section

of your SCREEN COBOL code. You should match the screen layout of a REG

requester with the application screens you design using the Pathmaker product.

Here are some guidelines for using REG requesters:

Use REG requesters to merge an existing application with an application

generated using the Pathmaker product.

Any requester can call a REG requester.

A REG requester can call an initial requester; an initial requester is a top level

requester in the application and can be any one of the four types provided by the

Pathmaker product. Initial requesters are discussed on the following pages.

A REG requester can accept parameters from other Pathmaker requesters.

The requester name you enter when you add a registered requester to the project

catalog must be identical to the name specified as PROGRAM-ID in the requester’s

SCREEN COBOL code.
