Interactive Procedures
Unlike other procedures, interactive procedures execute commands based on information received from you at run time. An interactive procedure may require you to specify files, parameter values or steps to be performed. Standard, custom or password dialogs allow users to enter information in a procedure. Whenever possible, place all interactive dialogs at the beginning of the procedure so that remaining procedure steps can proceed unattended.
When planning an interactive procedure, consider the following:
|
•
|
What information will each dialog collect? |
|
•
|
Where and how will each dialog be used? |
|
•
|
What input or selection errors may occur and how will they be handled? |
