Adding and defining procedure dialogs
Procedure dialogs exist for each of the protocols that VA Smalltalk supports. To add and define procedure dialogs do the following:
1. Select the appropriate parts category for the protocol you want to use:
o APPC
o CICS
o CPI-C
o MQ Series
o RPC
o TCP/IP
2. Select the Procedure Dialog part in the category you selected.
3. Add the selected part to an open area of the free-form surface.
4. To specify connection details and record formats, double-click on the Procedure Dialog part to open the Settings window:
The Settings windows enable you to specify protocol-specific communication parameters for the appropriate type of network connection:
5. On these Settings windows, you must specify the format of the record that is passed to and returned from the server using the
Records tab to specify the following:
o The type of source code (C or COBOL) and the name of the file containing the source code that describes the record
o The record format expected by the remote program you plan to communicate with.
