Implementation of A-Series COMS
This section describes the way that COMS is implemented in AMT-COBOL. The major part of the implementation follows the original COMS definitions as described in the COMS documentation.
There is however one important exception. In AMT-COBOL the Forms are designed inside the AMT-Developer Studio and are of graphical nature. Therefore each AMT-COBOL must contain a small COBOL program that copies the Values of the Graphical Layout Controls from the Screen Working Storage to the Controls on output and vice versa on input.
