If the application is not in Recovery Mode, any StartUp built-in segment method is called before the first presentation screen is displayed. If an <<Ispec>> class is specified as the Fireup Ispec, the presentation screen for that <<Ispec>> class is displayed. Otherwise, the Ispec Selection screen is displayed on Page 2 of your terminal.
As soon as the first screen is displayed, the application is ready to accept data input. Data might be entered through:
Terminal
OFFLINE load program interface
Generalized Interface (GLI)
Non-Formatted Input/Output (NOF) interface
Refer to Interfacing to Other Applications for more information on data entry through the interfaces.
Regardless of the source of the input, Runtime can optionally keep a log of all transactions for the application. Refer to Activity Log for more information.
