Reference Manual.
Pathway SCREEN COBOL
The SCREEN COBOL programming language allows programmers to write client
processes that communicate with operator terminals and intelligent input/output
devices, and that send data to server processes that manage application databases,
all under the control of Pathway. SCREEN COBOL programmers use special
statements and registers for accessing TMF. Table 1-3 lists statements in the
SCREEN COBOL language that manage transactions programmatically.
