Service script
•
•
•
A service script is a sequence of linked sibs that define the service logic
The script is divided in pages. Each page has a grid of 30 rows and 30 columns. The
intersection of a row and column is called state or cell
The script can be divided in subscripts:
–
–
–
–
subscript 0 (default)
subscript 1
...
subscript 8
8690 Application Server — 26
: pages from 001 to 099
