Relations to Other Applications
The InterForm400
®
system is developed for co-existence with other applications. Note the
following:
• The InterForm400
®
system does not change the library-list, and it is not
necessary to have the library APF3812 in the library list.
• You should not place any objects in the APF3812 library as this library is
exchanged when upgrading InterForm400
®
. (Only InterForm400
®
resources are copied to the new APF3812 library).
• The InterForm400
®
system does not change local data areas.
• If the InterForm400
®
system is called from another system the system does
not SIGN OFF, instead it returns to the calling program
(APF3812/APFMENU is not the initial program of the user)
• If InterForm400
®
is running as a group job, the InterForm400
®
main menu
will show that you can suspend the InterForm400
®
system by pressing the
ATTN-button.
• The system may create files in library QTEMP.
• An abnormal termination will never harm the InterForm400
®
system.
