RE: Modeling tools.

[Pluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thank you for your kind words.  I'm about to start on phase two of the
architecture, which will support indicators and subfiles (I already have a
subfile prototype working - you can see it at
http://www.java400.net/mc/mc200007).  The book on revitalization (entitled
"e-Deployment: The Fastest Path to the Web"), which details the entire
architecture from conception to implementation, will be available in
October.

As to your question, you've got a slight misunderstanding.  While only
values 0-24 are returned (meaning the Enter key, then F1 through F24), all
indicators are passed TO the data queue.  The current API doesn't support
the indicator array (because it's a little bit of a pain to code - in RPG
III it requires a MOVEA before and a MOVEA after the call to the API), but
the message structure already has the indicator array in place.  The phase
two architecture, which I should be releasing in about a month, will have
the indicators in place.

If you look at the actual code, the PBD packages already have some classes
defined to support indicators, conditions (multiple indicator combinations)
and field attributes - they just aren't implemented yet.  It'll be no
problem to attach conditions to the function keys.

Hi friends, I was going through Revitalization as proposed by  Pluta
brothers, it is a brilliant work, I just have one small doubt...how will
this architecture handle say .....

(DDS sample)

A    99N89                         CF14
A    99                       CF15

, because only indicators 1 to 24 are passed as the parameter to the Data
Queue?  and the indicators that are actually controlling the CF14 and CF15
are indicators 99 and 89


End of transmission ...Beeeeeeeppp..
