  2. Agenda • What is Dialogue Manager? • Dialogue Manager Processing • Dialogue Manager Limits • Dialogue Manager Variables • User • System • Implicit PROMPT • Navigating the Procedure • Debugging Dialogue Manager Procedures

  3. Conceptual View Stack FOCUS Command Processor SYSIN REPORT MODIFY MAINTAIN EXEC

  4. All System &Variables • All Local and Global Variables Dialogue ManagerProcessing • Dialogue Manager Uses: • DATREC for

  5. Dialogue ManagerProcessing • Dialogue Manager Uses: • LINREC for • All System, Local and Global Variable Values LINREC 4/1/00 20000401 000401 010400 040100 STEP1 STEVENS ‘STEVENS’ Alex Let’s Look at an Example

  6. Dialogue ManagerProcessing Remember !! • Dialogue Manager Executes First! • Line by Line -DEFAULT &GOTO=STEP1 -GOTO &GOTO -STEP1 -SET &NAM1 = IF &WHO EQ ’GB’ THEN ’’’’ | - ’SMYTH’ | ’’’’ ELSE ’’’’ | &NAME || ’’’’; TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE -INCLUDE HEADING SUM SALARY BY DEPARTMENT BY EMP_ID WHERE LAST_NAME CONTAINS &NAM1 END -RUN -STEP2

  7. Dialogue ManagerProcessing The FOCEXEC DATREC LINREC -DEFAULT &GOTO=STEP1&GOTOSTEP1 -GOTO STEP1 -STEP1 -SET &NAM1 = IF &WHO EQ ’GB’ THEN ’’’’ | &WHO ALEX - ’SMYTH’ | ’’’’ ELSE ’’’’ | &NAME || ’’’’; &NAME STEVENS &NAM1 ‘STEVENS’ TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE -INCLUDE HEADING SUM SALARY BY DEPARTMENT BY EMP_ID WHERE LAST_NAME CONTAINS ‘STEVENS’ END -RUN -STEP2 How did we get values for &WHO and &NAME? If Not Previously supplied, FOCUS Will Prompt for the Values

  8. Dialogue Manager LINREC 4/1/2000 20000401 000401 010400 040100 STEVENS ‘STEVENS’ Alex STEP1 FOCSTACK TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE HEADING CENTER “REPORT OF SALARIES “ SUM SALARY BY DEPARTMENT BY EMP_ID BY EMP_ID WHERE LAST_NAME CONTAINS ‘STEVENS’ END Where did the HEADING come from? It was –INCLUDE’d (-INCLUDE HEADING)

  9. Dialogue ManagerLIMITS • Dialogue Manager uses DATREC and LINREC • LINREC/DATREC Size Established at Install • Default is 16K • Can be Increased to 32K in 4K increments • FOCCTL.DATA Contains Two Members • LINREC and DATREC • Make changes to BOTH Members as Follows: • DA XL(16*1024) Default 16K • DA XL(32*1024) Max Size • Assemble and Link • See Installation Guide for Details

  10. Dialogue ManagerLIMITS • DATREC - 16K Default • Each Variable Name Takes 32 Bytes • 16384 / 32 = 512 Variables • ~40 Are Reserved by FOCUS • 472 Remain for Use • Each Additional 4K Increases the Available Variables by 128 • At the 32K Max 1024 Total Variables are available • 1024 – 40 =984 Remain For Use OR….

  11. Dialogue ManagerLIMITS • LINREC - 16K Default • Each Variable Value Can Be as Large as: • 16384 / (Number of Variables + 40 Reserved) = Max VariableSize (Never greater than 256 Bytes Each) • Each Additional 4K Increases the Available Variable Size • A 32K Max is allowed

  12. YMD DMY RECORDS… COUNTRY Dialogue Manager TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST BY COUNTRY IF COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY END TABLE FILE CAR SUM DCOST BY CAR IF COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY END EX PGM1 FOCSTACK.FTM PGM1.FEX TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST BY COUNTRY PLEASE SUPPLY ... COUNTRY = ENGLAND 020518 051802 0 ENGLAND

  13. Dialogue Manager Process • Line does NOT begin with - (dash) • Evaluate &variables • Write to FOCSTACK with substitution • FOCSTACK also contains focexec name and line number • Line begins with dash in column 1 • Evaluate (process ) immediately • -* Comment line

  14. Dialogue ManagerEnding the Process • -RUN • Execute the current FOCSTACK • Return to Procedure at next line • -EXIT • Execute the current FOCSTACK • Return to FOCUS command level (SYSIN) • -QUIT • Return to FOCUS command level (SYSIN) • Clear the current FOCSTACK • -QUIT FOCUS n • Return to system command level • Return code set to n

  15. Dialogue ManagerUser &variables • &variable • Local variables are identified by a single ampersand (&) preceding the name of the variable. They remain in effect throughout a single procedure. • &&variable • Global variables differ from local variables in that once a value is supplied, it remains current throughout the FOCUS session, unless set to another value with -SET or cleared by the LET CLEAR command.

  16. Dialogue ManagerUser &variables • &variable.LENGTH • &variable.EXIST • &variable.EVAL • &variable.TYPE

  17. Dialogue ManagerSystem Variables • &DATE • &DATEYYMD • &YMD &DMY &MDY • &YYMD &DMYY &MDYY • &TOD

  18. Dialogue ManagerValues for &variables • Implicit PROMPT • -DEFAULT • -PROMPT • -CRTFORM • -SET • -READ

  21. Dialogue Manager-DEFAULT(S) Syntax: -DEFAULT variable=value -DEFAULT &COUNTRY=ENGLAND TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST BY COUNTRY IF COUNTRY EQ ‘&COUNTRY’ END EX PRC1 OR EX PRC1 COUNTRY = FRANCE

  22. Dialogue Manager-DEFAULT(S) • -DEFAULT &TST=‘ ‘ MODIFY FILE EMPLOYEE &TST ... EX PRC2 OR EX PRC2 TST=TRACE • -DEFAULT &1=ONLINE TABLE FILE VIDEOTRK ... ON TABLE SET PRINT &1 END EX PRC3 OR EX PRC3 OFFLINE

  23. Dialogue Manager-PROMPT SYNTAX: -PROMPT &var.format.message. -PROMPT &var.(value1,value2,).message. Examples: -PROMPT &COUNTRY.(ENGLAND,FRANCE).COUNTRY?. TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST BY COUNTRY IF COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY END -PROMPT &COUNTRY.(FRANCE,ITALY).COUNTRY?. TABLE FILE CAR SUM DCOST BY CAR IF COUNTRY EQ ‘&COUNTRY’ END

  24. Dialogue Manager-CRTFORM SYNTAX: -CRTFORM -” text <&variable/length “ -” text <T.&variable> “ -” text <D.&variable> “ EXAMPLE: -CRTFORM - “ ENTER COUNTRY <&COUNTRY/10 “ TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST BY COUNTRY IF COUNTRY EQ ‘&COUNTRY’ END -CRTFORM “ COUNTRY - <T.&COUNTRY>“ ...

  25. Dialogue Manager-SET SYNTAX: -SET &variable=expression; EXAMPLES: -SET &COUNTRY= IF COUNTRY EQ ‘GERMANY’ - THEN ‘W GERMANY’ ELSE &COUNTRY; -SET &COUNTRY=‘------------’; -SET &COUNTRY=UPCASE(12,&COUNTRY,’A12’); -SET &INCREASE = (&PCT1 / 100) + 1 -SET &NAME = &LN || (‘, ‘ | &FN); -SET &WITHQUO = ‘‘‘‘ | &LN || ‘‘‘‘; -SET &DTX = (YMD ,MDY ,&YMD | ‘X’, ‘A17’);

  26. Dialogue Manager-READ Syntax: -READ ddname [NOCLOSE] &var1.len &var2.len -READ ddname [NOCLOSE] &var1, &var2 • ddname closed with -RUN • ddname closed with statistical variable

  27. Dialogue Manager-READ TABLE FILE CAR SUM COUNTRY BY COUNTRY ON TABLE SAVE END -RUN -READ SAVE &COUNTRY.A10. GRAPH FILE CAR SUM SALES ACROSS MODEL ON GRAPH SAVE AS &COUNTRY WHERE COUNTRY EQ ‘&COUNTRY’ END

  28. Dialogue Manager-TYPE -DEFAULT START=STEP1, END=STEP99 -GOTO &START -STEP1 -TYPE NOW ENTERING &START TABLE FILE ... -RUN -TYPE THE VALUE OF &|END IS &END

  29. Dialogue Manager-WRITE -PROMPT &EXTSORT.(ON,OFF).EXTERNAL SORT?. SET EXTSORT = &EXTSORT TABLE FILE BIGFILE PRINT * BY KEYFLD END -RUN -WRITE OUTFI WHEN EXTERNAL SORT IS &EXTSORT -WRITE OUTFI THE AMOUNT OF LINES IS &LINES -WRITE OUTFI THE BASEIO IS &BASEIO

  47. Debugging

  48. Dialogue ManagerDebugging • EX procedure • Only output from procedure seen • EX procedure ECHO=ON • Output from procedure seen • Stack (after substitution) displayed • EX procedure ECHO=ALL • Output from procedure seen • Dialogue Manager commands echoed • Stack (after substitution) displayed • SET XRETRIEVAL=OFF
