Abstract: The Generic User Interface (UIF) is a menu oriented user interface with the following features:

• DCL procedures can be run interactively or in batch with any batch qualifiers.
• Automatic parameter substitution and validation (for batch or interactive procedures).
• Security by VAX USERNAME.
• Tree structured menu system with multiple trees.
• Non-menu shortcut method of executing procedures.
• Can be run in captive mode.
• Any DCL procedure (including any third party packages or user written application) can be run.
• A single VMS subprocess is reused for every active user (i.e., two process slots are required for each user).

These routines were described in the Encompass Symposium Session, "A Generic User Interface", given at the Spring 1986, Fall 1986, and Spring 1987 Encompass Symposia.
