Objectives

• To create your first Web Application Module (WAM) and become familiar with the LANSA Editor's Design view.
• To create a WebRoutine in your Web Application Module. You will create a WebRoutine that will use different weblets to call itself. It will display a different message depending on which weblet is used.
• To understand the basics of how the WEB_MAP command is used within a WebRoutine (covered in much more detail in WAM010 - Using WEB_MAPs).
• To introduce you to re-entrant programming.
• To compile a Web application that was created using a WAM.
• To understand the compile/generate cycle of WAM development.

To achieve these objectives, you will complete the following steps:
Step 1. Start Visual LANSA
Step 2. Create a WAM
Step 3. Create the ReentryTest WebRoutine
Step 4. Compile the WAM
Step 5. Open the Design view
Step 6. Editing
Step 7. Use a Weblet
Step 8. Make STDRENTRY visible for testing
Step 9. Test the WAM
Step 10. Hide STDRENTRY
