   Programming a BEA Tuxedo Application Using FML

Within the BEA Tuxedo system, FML functions are used to manipulate fielded buffers.

Data entry programs written for the core portion of the BEA Tuxedo system use FML functions; these programs use fielded buffers to forward user data entered at a terminal to other processes. If you write programs that receive input in fielded buffers from data entry programs, you will need to use FML functions.

Even if you choose to develop your own applications programs for handling user input and output or if programs are written to pass messages between processes, you may still decide to use FML to deal with fielded buffers passed between these programs.
