Creating the EMPLOYEE Program Procedure Tree

Your program has just one procedure, which we shall call EMP_UPDATE.

1. To insert a procedure, press the <Insert> key (pressing <Enter> twice, <L> for Link or <I> for Insert would work as well). [This will probably need changing]. The PROCEDURE LINK EDITING box appears

2. Type the name of the procedure as: EMP_UPDATE

3. Right-click on the new procedure to open the Procedure dialog
With the Procedure tab selected, type this description:
Update records in the EMPLOYEE table
Accept the default of EMP_UPDATE for the name of the procedure body by clicking on OK with the mouse or cursori down to OK and hitting <Enter>
