Creating a Program

When you create a Program in a Work Area, you are actually creating an instance of a Program definition.

To create a new Program instance:

1. In a Work Area, select Program from the Add drop-down list.
2. Click Go.

   The system displays the Create Program screen.

3. Choose one of the following options:
   • Create a new Program definition and instance. Choose this option if no Program definition exists that can meet your needs, either as it is or with some modification.
   • Create an instance from an existing Program definition. Choose this option if a Program definition already exists that meets your needs. See Finding an Appropriate Definition and Reusing Existing Definitions for further information.
4. Depending on your choice, follow one of these sets of instructions:
   • Creating a New Program Definition and Instance
   • Creating an Instance of an Existing Definition

• Creating a New Program Definition and Instance
  When you select Create a new Program definition and instance in the Create Program screen, additional fields appear.
• Creating an Instance of an Existing Program Definition
  If you use an existing Program as a definition source, its Source Code, Table Descriptors, Parameters and other properties are already defined.
