Getting Started - Menus

To get started with the Menu Editor, do the following:

  1. Enter and run the Initialization Program in Setup For Examples. (The initialization program loads the global strings necessary to run the examples in this Guide.)

  2. To create the menu file mainmenu with a menu record called "main", issue the following command:

    > CALL "_msedit.utl","mainmenu","main"

Note that mainmenu does not have to exist. The Menu Editor will create the file and the menu record if it cannot be found.

Note:

It is important to specify the menu record in the CALL, or a record with a blank key will be created.
