Description

 

 

Cell 1

The ANSW cell answers the incoming call.

 

 

Cell 2

The GDAT cell plays a prompt requesting the caller to

 

enter an account number. The number entered is

 

stored in the ACCOUNTNUMBER buffer.

 

 

Cell 3

The MENU cell plays a prompt instructing the caller to

 

press 1 to get an account balance, or press 2 to get an

 

account update.

 

 

Cell 4

When the caller presses “1” on the telephone, the COMI

 

cell starts the transaction.

 

According to the COMI cell parameters in Figure 4-3,

 

the action template specified in the COMI cell

 

parameter window is “getbalance”. (This template is

 

used in the sample transaction described in Chapter 3:

 

Getting started, specifically Figure 3-11 on page 3-18.)

 

The COMI cell provides the contents of the

 

ACCOUNTNUMBER buffer to the host computer

 

application.

 

 

Cell 5

According to the COMO cell parameters in Figure 4-4

 

on page 4-7, the COMO cell receives the customer’s

 

balance from the BALANCE buffer.

 

 

Cell 6

The contents of the BALANCE buffer is played to the

 

user.

 

 

Cell 7-9

When the caller presses “2” on the telephone, an

 

account update is given because the application

 

communicates in a similar manner.

 

 

Cell 10

The caller hangs up and the application ends.

 

 

If the caller hangs up before the transaction is completed, the COMA cell in the clean-up branch of the START cell clears the memory and buffers associated with the application.
