Chapter 4-7: Predefined Fields and Processes

APPX MENU

This menu is the default startup process for all users. In addition to allowing a user to select a new database, the APPX MENU process provides access to system administration, application design, and database management. This menu, shown in Figure 4-7-2, can be invoked at any time and is typically used as one of the steps in a startup job. For example, consider the following job:

100    UPDATE     SYS LOG IN USER
200    MENU       --- APPX MENU
300    UPDATE     SYS LOG OUT USER

The first and last steps of the above job may write records to a customized system log file that tracks each user as they enter and exit APPX.
