For a user who does not yet have own programs, SQL-PL displays an empty program list. To rapidly get to know SQL-PL, one can proceed in the following way:
1. One sets the desired language for the SQL-PL messages (menu item 'Tools function 'SET Parameters').
2. One defines one or more tables. For this purpose it is recommended to use the component DOMAIN. But this can also be done via the integrated SQL window (or, of course, by means of the components LOAD, QUERY, or EASY).
3. One calls the tool 'EXPRESS' (menu item 'Tools') and generates a program or only a form.
When returning from EXPRESS, the program list contains the programs generated by EXPRESS for maintaining the master data. These programs can be extended at will.
