Nucleus

Nucleus Rulesets provide a structured framework in which to effectively manage files, fields, read and update events, validation events, inter-field processing, and formatting.

Ruleset definition is synonomous to defining a Screen Script. In fact, the only reason it has been called "screen" is due to the default character based interaction with the rule.

A ruleset can:

• address up to 1600 repeating field data objects
• retrieve data from one or multiple files
• update one or multiple files
• EXECUTE processes from within the attached SUBS.ScreenName
• CALL subroutines from within the attached SUBS.ScreenName

• The Script Compiler (WIC)
• The Script Editor (WIS)
• The integrated Rule development menu (WINMAINT or WINE)
• The Console Runtime (WIN)
• The Accuterm GUI Runtime (WING)
• The Client Server Interface (Nucleus Objects) (Nucleus Query Language)

• The Primary File
• The Screen dictionary, found in the SCRDICTS file
• Secondary Files
