Creating New Programs

An Application Engine program includes a logically ordered set of sections, steps, and actions. An executable program must contain at least one section, called MAIN, used to identify the starting point of the program. Also, it should contain at least one step, and each step should contain at least one action.

To create a new program definition:

  1. Select File, New or press Ctrl + N.

  2. In the New dialog box, select App Engine Program from the Definition Type drop-down list and click OK.

  3. Save and name your program.

    Select File, Save As, enter the name of your program in the Save Name As edit box, and click OK.

Note:

You should also provide a program description and specify its owner in the properties dialog box for the new program.
