The programmer defines a set of PROIV Functions that can be executed by the calling application as a unit of work. Such a set of functions is termed a Task. A PROIV Task has a defined entry and exit point and specific error handling capabilities. It can operate in the background with no visible screen interface or, in certain configurations. it can automatically invoke a PROIV Windows Client on the calling machine to handle keyboard input and screen output. Tasks are stored in the bootstraps of a kernel on a machine. Multiple Tasks can be stored in a set of bootstraps. There can be many machines on the network on which Tasks are defined. Tasks enable you to call sections of PROIV code from a third party program – for example, from a Visual Basic .NET program. When calling a PROIV Task, the third party program must supply the user information, the Task name, parameters and the server name.
