| Magic Programming
(Magic Sites Only)
Our Magic Programming series is for
those of you who have been through all the standard NPR training and
want to take it to another level. The course is broken onto two distinct
focus areas.
The core topics component is designed
to give you the basics and introduce you to the inner workings of
the Magic language. What you learn here, although not directly connected
with NPR, can be used in NPR reports. This provides the ground work
for things like interacting directly with the user during report run
time or saving data to your own directory during report run time.
The NPR component introduces standard
Meditech programs that can be used in NPR to truely enhance your cababilities.
The course is designed to get you interacting with the Microsoft Windows
environment and be able to transfer data to and from the Meditech
system.
Component
1 - Magic Core Topics
| 1.
Data Structures & Storage |
These
lie at the very core of every Magic application. We look at
atoms, operators, expressions, array construction,
prefixes and disk based data storage. |
| 2. Command
Line Functions |
We look at
the heart of the Magic operating system and explore the system
commands and conventions. |
| 3. Programmer
Utilities |
A look at
the numerous utilities and supporting programs that you have
available to you. |
| 4. Programmer’s
Development Tool |
The $T programmers
tool is covered in detail. Here is where we create our programs
and the system macros that are part of every Magic application. |
| 5. Programmer’s
Editor |
We pay particular
attention to the program editor located within the programmer
tools and make sure you have a thorough working knowledge of
it. |
| 7. Core
Application Build |
We build
a small but complete magic application that covers all the core
concepts including formatted screen input/output, storing data
in disk based structures, |
Component
2 - NPR Magic Programming
| 1.
Applications Crossing |
Crossing
applications without using report fragments. Sometimes you just
need to access an application directly. We cover how to, using
the Z.link utility. |
| 2. Interacting
with your PC |
You
can read and write to files directly on your personal computer
from within Magic, and yes, this means the NPR report writer.
We show you how to read PC files and upload them into your Meditech
system. We also cover the “other” direction, taking
Meditech data and writing directly to your PC. |
| 3. Custom
Defined Screens |
You
can use your custom defines screens for more than just gathering
data. These can be used for creating your own pop-up screens,
transferring data from one application to another or even creating
your own mini-application |
| 4. Sending
Files |
You
can send data via FTP directly from your Magic system to another
system or FTP server and we show you how. |
