Action template performing a transaction

As shown in Figure 3-10, the initial-action template brings the session to the application’s menu screen. The action template created to get a customer’s balance starts at that screen. Figure 3-11 shows the action template, its screen templates, and the corresponding host computer screens that perform the following functions:

•choose the Accounts Receivable option from the application’s menu

•enter (on the line that pops up at the bottom of the screen) the customer account number from an input buffer provided by the COMI cell

•when the customer information screen displays, the template places the current balance in an output buffer to be transmitted to the COMO cell

•execute a reset-action template to return the session application to the application’s menu screen
