APPX Runtime Subroutine API Overview

Over 100 new subroutines are available for designers to use.

Overview:

Release 5.1 contains over 100 subroutines for designers to use in developing or deploying their applications. Some of these are formalized versions of older subroutines that are currently in use, while others provide brand new capabilities. The older subroutines will continue to work, but designers should begin migrating away from those routines.

The full list of subroutines and their parameters can be found here.

The new routines can be grouped into the following catagories:

General Routines - Application Routines

Contains routines to change the current application phase (Live Operations, Recovery Processing, Initial Setup) or to select a new database.

General Routines - Utility Routines

Contains routines to add/change/delete a user, change a user's auxiliary password, test a user's security code, add/change/delete Hook records, activate temporary Hook records, compile processes, process the Data Dicationary, switch user context, update application documentation, pause execution for a specified number of seconds (with or without a countdown timer), implement timeouts, indirect field referencing (to set or retrieve a field value by name), and more.

General Routines - Web Processing
