A-7.1 Producing a user diskette
The procedure to produce a runnable user diskette is normally as follows:
-Format a PC-DOS diskette (DOS: FORMAT /S),
-Copy the runtime module RUN.COM of the compiled user program XXXXXXXX.RUN and
the screens XXXXXXXX.SCR which belong to this program onto the formatted diskette
(DOS: COPY).
This will give you a usable application diskette containing a user program which can be started
at DOS level by entering the instruction RUN <name>.
A program which is started in this manner can only be interrupted by the user if a system reset
is performed.
If provision is to be made to abort the program, the program can be started using the RUN
<name> BREAK option. In this case the program can be interrupted by pressing <F6>.

A-7.2 Specifying a pathname for SCREENS
When the number of screens which an application program requires is so large that there is not
sufficient room for them all on one application diskette, additional diskettes containing re-
corded screens can be included in the program pathname. The diskette (or hard disk) drives
used for this purpose should be allotted to a DOS environment variable under the name
„DRIVES=“. The User System checks the presence of this variable and, if applicable, evalu-
ates it. In this case, the User System is called in the same way as described above after enter-
ing the following command string at DOS level:
DRIVES=XX.. <ENTER> (XX.. = drives, e.g.: ABC)
xample:
The application program whose name is TEST.FRM is on a diskette in drive A together
with the User System RUN.COM and some of the required screens. There is another diskette c
ntaining additional required screens in
rive B.
This application is started as
o l l o w s :
DRIVES=A
<ENTER> RUN TEST
ENTER>
