There are three basic "object" types: fields, files and processes, that you normally manipulate when using LANSA. These three objects are reflected in the major developer menus in the system.

Examples of the screens represented are given in 1.5 The Major LANSA Developer Menus.
There is another way to access the LANSA development environment.
It is called "Advanced access" and uses "Work with" style screens.
Before using Advanced access please note that:
You access Advanced mode access using the DEVELOPER(*ADVANCED) parameter on the LANSA command.
When this parameter is used the developer menus are structured like this:
