<p>created NORD Screen Handling System page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you have the responsibility for implementing a display-oriented application, the NORD Screen Handling System (NSHS) can make your job much easier. How?<br /> By eliminating the many hours it would take you to design and program a similar control or `front-end&#039; module. As a complete and comprehensive I/O system,<br /> NSHS can create files of formatted screen pictures, incorporate these pictures into application programs and enable you to manipulate data and pictures on a<br /> video display unit. It can accommodate up to eight different types of terminals simultaneously. All or any part of a picture may be edited extensively and can be<br /> made to accept or reject specific values. All or any part of a picture may be displayed differently, that is, underlined, blinking, inverse video, etc. What is<br /> more, NSHS can either be used with a background program or be integrated into a real-time system which uses many terminals. NSHS is also an integral part of<br /> the [[NORD Data Entry System]]. What all this means of course, is that you now have, completely operational, a very powerful and sophisticated software<br /> product that can serve you as an essential element in your overall system&#039;s approach to designing a VDU application.<br /> <br /> A closer examination of the system reveals that NSHS is comprised of two functionally distinct subsystems:<br /> <br /> - NORD Screen Defintion System (NSD)<br /> <br /> - NORD Screen Library System (NSL)<br /> <br /> NSD is the interactive utility program that allows you to create and modify pictures at a display terminal. It is this subsystem that is used in connection with NORD DATA ENTRY System.<br /> <br /> NSL is the run-time subroutine library that permits application programs to use the picture formats created in NSD. There are two versions of NSL: one for real-time programs, the other for background programs. Pictures and call formats for both versions are completely compatible.&lt;ref&gt;{{ND-doc|60.088.2}} Introduction&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Stub}}<br /> <br /> == Documentation ==<br /> * {{ND-doc|60.088.2}}<br /> <br /> == Product Number ==<br /> * [[:Category:ND-10013|ND-10013]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Software]]</div>
