Programming Conventions

These conventions describe how development should proceed at this time. Older programs are brought up to the current conventions only when either functionally necessary, or a major change is made to the program.

Menus

The general AERIS convention is followed which includes the following features:

• Menu name at upper left.
• Company name at top center.
• Application name on second line.
• Menu description on the third line.
• System, workstation, date and time at upper right.
• Menu options 90 through 99 as described on MENU99.
• * precedes options that are themselves menus.

Several menus can use one command set. No convention exists to identify when this occurs.

Screens

The general AERIS convention is followed which includes the following features:

• Screen set name at upper left.
• Company name at top center.
• Application name on second line, if space is available.
• Function name on next line.
• Functions keys on lines 23 and 24. Common ones have conventional locations.
