Requester/Service Name
Enter an appropriate requester or service name for a CALL, RETN, or SEND action
only.
For a CALL, specify the requester that is to be called.
For a RETN, specify a requester higher in the calling stack of this requester.
For a SEND, specify the service to which a message is to be sent.
For each CALL or SEND key, other than the HELP key, use the appropriate parameter
definition screen to specify passed parameters, if any, before generating this requester.
You can describe parameters for this requester only after you define the called
requester or service.
Initial Action
Enter a CALL, SEND, or USER action if you want that action to be automatically
performed as soon as the requester is called. For example, you might want the
requester to SEND to a custom service that reads the first data record.
You can CALL any Pathmaker requester or SEND to a custom service using this field.
However, you cannot specify SEND in the Initial Action field for a MENU or DB
requester.
