The following example shows how the Screen classes can be used to create your own locally-defined screen class using object-oriented syntax.

In this example (which is used in the RKTools family of products), the locally defined SirScreen class extends the system Screen class — meaning that all the features of the base class are available for use, but more features can be (and are) being added. Where the Screen class provides generic support for screen and screenfield generation, the SirScreen class that extends it exerts full control over the title, command-line, PF key definitions, message-handling and error highlighting, as well as controlling whether a scale is turned on or off, and how an optional header is formatted.

This is an example of how the SOUL base classes are extended to provide centralized control on the look-and-feel of an application, while leaving the body of the page open for the application programmer to add business-function specific code.

Note the use of the !DUPEXIT directive at the top of this procedure. !DUPEXIT tells the compiler that, no matter how many times this routine is included, it should only be compiled into the executable once. This is useful if you need the SirScreen class included in an optional module, but also need it in a routine that may or may not include the optional module. !DUPEXIT allows the inclusion of the routine anywhere it is needed, without the danger that the compiler will fail when it sees it more than once in a single routine. In the UL/SPF code, for instance, the SirScreen procedure is used in the common "help" routines, which are included in most 3270 code. By using the !DUPEXIT directive, the calling program can include the same routine for other screens without worrying about whether or not the help routine is included as well.

* sirScreen: Screen wrapper class                                  *
*                                                                  *
* Screens in this class can be any width and height, and have the  *
* following features:                                              *
*                                                                  *
* A title line and command line at the top.  Two PF Key lines      *
* at the bottom that can be toggled visible or invisible.          *
* A message line that is either at the bottom (if the PF Keys are  *
* not visible) or third line from the bottom (if the PF Keys are   *
* visible).  A variable number of undefined lines in the middle    *
* to be used by the application.                                   *
*                                                                  *
* In other words, this class defines the stuff that's common to    *
* all the ULSPF product screens, leaving the middle open for       *
* the application to define.                                       *
*                                                                  *
* The screen object is destroyed and re-created when the calling   *
* code makes changes that effect the number of lines available     *
* for scrolling or other application use.                          *
*                                                                  *
* Things you can do with this screen object                        *

* 1. Assign a value to the title.                                  *
* 2. Assign a value to the message line.                           *
* 3. Assign values to the PF Keys and toggle their visibility.     *
* 4. Toggle on and off the scale.                                  *
* 6. Process commands from the command line.                       *
* 7. Set attributes, like color, on a specific line.               *
*                                                                  *
