ORDERENTRY, PLUNAME #CREATE . . . . .

A table (in this case an ESS table) is represented by a ruled box.

Each of the ruled divisions within the larger box represents a record within the table.

ORDERENTRY is the record-name field in the record. In this case, it is a character-code

command. Notice that it is separated from the second field by a comma.

PLUNAME is an operand name, or keyword, defined by the SNAX Utility. You use these

operand names when you create a field within a table record. In this way, the utility

knows what type of data you are submitting, because the utility allows you to enter

operand data in any order. Although the operand name is not exactly a part of the table

itself, it is included here so that you can easily identify the type of field being depicted.

#CREATE, following the operand name, represents the actual operand data (parameter).

In this case, it is the logical name of the Tandem Creator process, which communicates

with a PATHMON to establish a session with a Pathway application.

Ellipsis points indicate that optional parameters can be added or that certain required

parameters have been omitted for reasons of space or clarity. For a discussion of

required and optional parameters within a given table type, see Section 2 and

Appendix A.

The empty record division with the curving lower edge signifies that other records can

exist in or be added to the table.
