Run the Image
To run the Sales Entry Application from operating system level, define a name for the application to be used as a command. This example uses the name saleapp:
Windows: Include the following command in a shortcut named saleapp:
full_pathname\sales.exe
The full_pathname is the full pathname of the directory for sales.exe.
UNIX:
alias saleapp full_pathname/sales.exe
The full_pathname is the full pathname of the directory for sales.exe.
VMS:
saleapp :== $dir_spec sales.exe
The dir_spec is the full directory specification of the file sales.exe.
To run the application from the operating system level, type the name, followed by the name of the first frame to call. At this point, the following command runs the Sales Entry Application, starting at the frame Topframe:
saleapp topframe
You can pass database flags into the application at the operating system prompt. These are described further in your query language reference guide. For example:
saleapp -u newuser topframe
saleapp -xf topframe
