To create a screen-based operation
- In the Service Interfaces Editor, right-click Operation, and click New.
- In the Operation Name field, type a name for the operation.
- From the Active Screen drop-down list, click the screen name for the screen you want to process with the operation.
- From the Previous Screen drop-down list, click the screen that precedes the active screen.
- In the Transaction ID field, type the ID that starts the application.
- If you want to automatically create interface fields with default mappings for all of the fields on the active screen, check Create Default Mapping.
- Click OK.
Note:
- Provide a transaction ID only when the operation you are defining starts a transaction.
- It is common practice for IMS applications to specify a transaction ID in the MFS MID definition. In this case, to ensure that offsets are calculated properly, select the USE TRANSACTION ID FROM SCREEN DEFINITION option when specifying the transaction ID for your operation. This option is available only when you select an active screen other than <None>, ANY SCREEN, or EMPTY SCREEN.
