Step 1. Create a Procedural Function
In this step, you will create a test process and a procedural test function. The test function will use the FRENQ02 template to create a header/details style inquiry function using the Department (DEPTAB) and Section (SECTAB) files.
1. Using the LANSA development environment, signon to the partition nominated for the tutorials (usually DEM).
2. Create a new LANSA process named iiiPROC00 Test Process (Procedural), where iii are your initials. (If the process already exists, select a different set of characters for iii.)
3. Enable your iiiPROC00 process for web. If you need to know how, refer to Web Enabling a LANSA Process.
4. Working with your iiiPROC00 process, create a new function named iiiFN0 Display Sections Procedural. Be sure to specify that the function is generated from an Application Template.
5. Select the FRENQ02Header/Detail Inquiry template and answer the questions as shown below:
