Programming a BEA Tuxedo Application Using FML

Before you can begin to work with FML fielded buffers, or to use the VIEWS functions that move fields between structures and fielded buffers, you must:

Define fields
Make field definitions available to application programs (through field table files and mapping functions at run time, or through C header files at compile time)
Compile source view descriptions into object view descriptions, and generate corresponding C header files and COBOL COPY files

These tasks and related activities are described here.
