Help for: REQUESTER DEFINITION
==============================================================================
Requester Definition
Use the Requester Definition screen to create, modify, delete,
copy, or generate a requester. For example, to view an existing
requester, enter the name of the requester in the field and
press F2. PATHMAKER shows you the information existing for the
requester.
You can reach the Requester Definition screen from the PATHMAKER
Main Menu (F2) or while in Simulation mode.
A requester is an application module that interacts with you. It
is equivalent to a SCREEN COBOL program unit. A requester:
* Contains presentation logic for a single logical screen
* Manages terminal context associated with that screen
