Setting up an APP that executes the program associated with the APP.

[BMcNealy]

There was the start of an instructional guideline in the user manual for programming and APP. The direction was to Highlight the Function APP and then save as the name for the new APP.

My problem is that once doing that and entering programming language into the APP through <shift> "Program"  to display available programs. Selection of the APP from the only show the typical "Function Symbolic View".

Seems that I haven't found some flag that tells the APP to start with execution of the program language.

Thanks

Take a look at the section titled "App programs" (page 576 in the current english manual, will vary in other languages). There is a table of special function names that will be executed at certain events. The section is called "Using deidcated program functions".

"There are nine dedicated program function names, as shown in the table below. These functions are called when the corresponding keys shown in the table are pressed. These functions are designed to be written into a program that controls an app and used in the context of that app."

The one you are looking for is "START". Create a "START" function and that will execute upon start of an app. Put this in your "<APPNAME> (App)" program file that will be your top entry in your program catalog.

START()

BEGIN

   MSGBOX("Here my app is starting");

END;
