Assume that you want to create installation files to add a hypothetical office service to the Information Center Facility. The service prompts you for the name of a person in your company and then finds the room and floor number for the person. You want the service to have the following characteristics:
  • Users can select it as option 2, on the panel, Information Center Facility - Office Services.
  • All applications for the service are in English.
  • Users see the following description on the menu where they select the service:
    Find a person's room and floor number.
  • Administrators see the following description on the list of applications:
    Locate service
  • The help text that users see when they select the DESCRIBE option on panel, Information Center Facility - Office Services, is:
    Select this option to find a person's room and floor number.
    The service prompts you for the person's last name followed
    by the first name or initial.
  • The service is defined by the function application, ABCLOC, and invoked by the command %LOCATE.
  • The tutorial for the service starts with panel ABCLOC00.
  • The service has only one shared variable, FRMTOFF, associated with it. The description of the variable is:
    Room and floor number format used by office services
    The value of the variable is room/fl. This variable will be used by other office services that you plan to write in the future.
