All Application Engine programs must contain at least one section entitled ________.
-
SECTION
-
MAIN
-
STEP01
-
ACTION
All Application Engine programs must contain at least one section named MAIN, which serves as the entry point for the program execution. SECTION is a general term, STEP01 is a naming convention but not required, and ACTION refers to operations within steps.
Every PeopleSoft Application Engine program must contain a section named MAIN, because that is the entry-point section the Application Engine call stack looks for when the program is invoked (via Call AppEngine, process scheduler, or a component). Other section names are user-defined and can vary, but MAIN is the one reserved, required starting point. Names like SECTION, STEP01, or ACTION are just generic labels, not the mandatory entry section.
