Introduction

This chapter provides a general overview of the PROIV Developer File Definitions - Developer Guide and describes the intended audience. You will also find a summary of the contents of each chapter, along with the typographical conventions used in this guide.

Purpose

The PROIV Developer File Definitions - Developer Guide is intended for PROIV programmers. The guide introduces the PROIV Developer File Definitions and explains which attributes can be directly maintained. It describes how Helper Functions must be run after changing certain file attributes in order to maintain data integrity. It shows which attributes must not be maintained directly. It also describes the other deliverables (apart from this document) that are required to allow maintenance of PROIV Developer data outside the PROIV Developer development environment.

The following is a description of the PROIV Developer File Definitions - Developer Guide’s contents:

Overview defines the purpose, contents, and reader conventions used in this guide.
PROIV Developer File Definitions Overview describes the functionality that is offered to enable maintenance of PROIV Developer data outside the PROIV Developer development environment. It describes all the deliverables, and explains restrictions.
Function Definition describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold function related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes that must not be maintained directly are shown, along with dependencies, and instructions on running Helper Functions.
Function Tables describes function related data that should always be maintained by Helper Functions. This is for information only.
Global Logic Definition describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold Global Logic related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes that must not be maintained directly are shown, along with dependencies, and instructions on running Helper Functions.
Shared Data Files for Functions and Global Logics describes the common data files and cross-reference tables used by both Functions and Global Logics.
File Definition describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold File Definition related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes that must not be maintained directly are shown, along with dependencies, and instructions on running Helper Functions.
Control Bar and Action Control Definitions describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold Control Bar and Action Control definition related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes are shown, along with dependencies for maintaining theme.
SSO Definitions describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold SSO definition related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes are shown, along with dependencies for maintaining theme.
Task Definition describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold Task definition related data. The File Definitions are included, and attributes are shown, along with dependencies for maintaining them.
ActiveX Control Definition describes the PROIV Developer File Definitions that hold ActiveX Control definition related data. The File Definitions are included for reference, but their attributes should not be maintained directly.
PROIV Developer Helper Functions describes the supplied Helper Functions, and how to use them to ensure that critical attributes and cross-reference tables are correctly updated.
Appendix A: Object Code Values describes all of the objects that PROIV Developer supports and their object code values.
Appendix B: Event Points and Logic Assignment describes how assigned logics are stored on the Structure File, and which Event Points are supported on each of the PROIV Developer Objects
Appendix C: Logic Line Arrays describes how logic line flags are stored in the various arrays, and how to read or set the value for a specific line.
