anticipated.
Rules
Allowable values are:
SAA/CUA | All menus and screen formats used by this process and any of its associated functions are to conform to the SAA (Systems Application Architecture) and/or CUA (Common User Access) standards defined for the partition in which the process is being defined. Refer to Partition Definitions in SAA/CUA Implementation in the LANSA Application Design Guide for more details of what the SAA/CUA standards are for a partition and how they apply. |
Action Bar | The process is to act as an "Action bar" as defined by the CUA (Common User Access) standards defined by IBM and for this partition. |
Warning
If using Action Bar, then the following prerequisites must be satisfied:
- The current partition must be SAA/CUA enabled.
- You must read all relevant information in the LANSA Application Design Guide and in the IBM supplied CUA 1989 Basic Interface Design Guide.
- You must be totally committed to the CUA 1989 standard for the "look" and "feel" of your application software.
LIGHT | Anticipated usage is LIGHT. The process will not be used repeatedly and continuously. Most processes are considered to be LIGHT usage. |
HEAVY | Anticipated usage is heavy. The process will be used repeatedly and continuously. This option is normally only used in repetitive data entry applications. |
Platform Considerations
- IBM i: In technical terms, the Anticipated Usage value indicates whether or not the RPG programs created for the functions in this process should be set on the LR (last record) indicator and close all files when terminating.
- IBM i: The Anticipated Usage value can be changed dynamically (without having to recompile any programs) so it may be worthwhile experimenting with it to modify system performance/throughput.
