Order of Executing Batch Edit Events

CSPro executes the procedures in an application one case at a time. There are two main procedures for each element: a preproc and a postproc. If the type of procedure is not named, postproc is assumed. (There are three additional procedures that are not common in batch applications: onfocus, killfocus, and onoccchange.)

The following diagram illustrates the order of operations for a two-level batch edit application. Level 1 has two records (1 and 2) and level 2 has one record (3).

Application File preproc
    Level 1 (case) preproc
        Record 1 preproc
            Item 11 preproc
            Item 11 postproc
            ...
            Item 19 preproc
            Item 19 postproc
        Record 1 postproc
        Record 2 preproc
            Item 21 preproc
            Item 21 postproc
            ...
            Item 29 preproc
            Item 29 postproc
        Record 2 postproc
    Level 2 preproc
        Record 3 preproc
            Item 31 preproc
            Item 31 postproc
            ...
            Item 39 preproc
            Item 39 postproc
        Record 3 postproc
    Level 2 postproc
    (repeat level 2 procedures for other level 2 nodes)
    Level 1 (case) postproc
Application File postproc
