High-Level Screen Management Intrinsic Library Reference Manual (32424-90002)

1- 4
uses the features of these terminals, see Appendix D. To make full
use of the block mode features, you must use FORMSPEC/V to design
your forms.
Requirements
Hi-Li intrinsics require the following software and hardware:
* HP 3000 running under MPE/V or MPE/XL;
* HP block mode terminal.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1: Provides an overview of the Hi-Li intrinsics
and the screen management facility, as well as
a brief description of each chapter in the
manual.
Chapter 2: Explains how Hi-Li intrinsics are designed and
gives basic rules for using them. Read both
Chapter 1 and this chapter before you begin
coding with Hi-Li.
Chapter 3: Describes each of the 12 intrinsics and their
parameters in detail. Many of the descriptions
include brief examples of how to code parameter
structures in each of the supported languages.
Chapter 4: Outlines each of the six data mapping methods
that can be used to map data between the
application and fields on the form.
Appendix A: Provides a complete list of error messages,
their meanings, and the action you can take to
recover from an error.
Appendix B: Compares Hi-Li intrinsics and VPLUS/V
intrinsics.
Appendix C: Contains sample application programs for COBOL,
Pascal and FORTRAN, as well as a discussion of
the Hi-Li diagnostic tracing facility.
Appendix D: Lists the terminals supported by Hi-Li and
explains how Hi-Li uses various terminal
features.
