View Design - 5250 Host Interface

SEQUEL's host-based Design View interface provides 3 different levels of user assistance when creating or modifying SEQUEL views. The Basic assistance level guides new users through every step of the query-building process, while the Intermediate and Advanced levels offer prompts when requested.

Cursor-sensitive help text is available throughout the User Interface to provide assistance wherever you need it. Help functions also include a search index and multi-level hypertext.

With a keystroke, an action bar appears at the top of the screen that displays all features of the user interface. The action bar includes FILE, EDIT, VIEW, DEFAULTS, SYSTEM, and HELP headings. Pull-down menus and pop-up windows will help users be productive from the start.

Some of the special features accessible through action bar options include: CUT, PASTE, COPY, MARK, SPLIT and UNDO. A global "search-and-replace" function expedites changes, and query diagnostics are available to help spot performance problems.
