<h2>Dynamic Screen Manager APIs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Dynamic Screen Manager (DSM) APIs are a set of screen I/O interfaces
|
|
that provide a dynamic way to create and manage screens for the Integrated
|
|
Language Environment (ILE) high-level languages. Because the DSM interfaces are
|
|
bindable, they are accessible to ILE programs only.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The DSM APIs provide an alternative to the existing way of defining screen
|
|
appearance outside a program by coding in DDS or UIM, for example. Instead,
|
|
programmers can use a series of calls to DSM within their programs to
|
|
dynamically specify and control screen appearance for their applications.
|
|
Unlike static definition methods, the DSM interfaces provide the flexibility
|
|
needed for those applications requiring more dynamic screen control. The DSM
|
|
support provided varies from low-level interfaces for direct screen
|
|
manipulation to windowing support.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The DSM APIs fall into the following functional groups:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="dsm1.htm">Low-level services</a> provide a direct interface
|
|
to the 5250 data stream commands. These APIs are used to query and manipulate
|
|
the state of the screen; to create, query, and manipulate input and command
|
|
buffers used to interact with the screen; and to define fields and write data
|
|
to the screen.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="dsm2.htm">Window services</a> are used to create, delete, move,
|
|
and resize windows, and to manage multiple windows during a session.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="dsm3.htm">Session services</a> provide a general scrolling
|
|
interface that can be used to create, query, and manipulate sessions, and to
|
|
perform input and output operations to sessions.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
