Using this Approach in other Situations

This is example shows how to dynamically choose to present five different 5250 reporting screens onto a single command handler tab.
The choice may be made by the user or logic you write into a script.
You should now understand:

• That if there were three different types of "Orders" in an "ERP" application (International, National and Local, say) that you cold use this approach to cause three different 5250 destination screens to be displayed on a single command handler tab named "Details".
• That the instance list can be used to dynamically create a "menu" of 5250 destination forms.
• That not all 5250 destination screens need to be formally attached to a command handler tab. They can be dynamically attached (ie: displayed) on tabs by logic imbedded in a navigation script by using the NAVIGATE_TO_SCREEN() function.
