Exercise 1.3: Selecting a customer

Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 1.2: Accessing the online help.

Now you have an understanding how the help panels in this application work and look. Next you need to identify the customer related order. You have the choice of specifying a valid customer number, or you can get a selection list of valid customers. Use the selection list because it shows a record format that uses the WINDOW DDS keyword and so you can see how the WebFacing Tool converts a DDS window.

  1. Press command key F4 to display the customer selection list.

    A list of customers displays.
