Action template for accounting application

#Example action template file: filename is getbalance.act getbalance accounting reset_cust logout_cust #acctrec chooses the balance option from the main menu acctrec

#acctno specifies the account number for the customer acctno

#customer displays the customer’s account balance customer

In Figure 2-4, action-nameis getbalance, the name of the action template file without the .act extension. The app-nameis accounting. The reset-actionis reset_cust (file name reset_cust.act), and the logout-actionis logout_cust (file name logout_cust.act). Manual mode is omitted because manual mode is not required for this transaction (a description of manual mode follows).

The remaining lines identify the sequence of screens (accrec, acctno, and customer) the TRS must traverse to retrieve the customer billing information. These screens are listed in the order that they must be accessed.

An explanation of each entry in the action template syntax follows.

#comment

The first line of the template in Figure 2-3 is a comment. The comment line is not required but is recommended to describe the purpose of the action template.
