CRTWS

The two data structures defined in CRTWS describe the user interface and program control information needed by Lawson 4GL routines and the transaction input area. During terminal input, the data moves from this area to the form areas defined by the form generation process. For a discussion of the form generation process, see Application Development Workbench Standards.

During program execution, these data structures store the name of the active form and program form ID; security processing considerations; error messages, numbers, or both; variable text for error messages; job names; user names; and so on. This is the central control area for the user interface and transaction.
