A plurality of log records are extracted from the hierarchical database management
log for subsequent processing by a batch terminal simulator (also referred to as
BTS). A cross reference record is created for each of selected ones of the plurality
of log records, the cross reference records forming a cross reference file. A BTS
SYSIN file is also created comprising at least one "PA2 $" record. Then the batch
terminal simulator is executed wherein a BTS screen display report is generated
utilizing said BTS SYSIN file and wherein said BTS screen display report comprises
a plurality of BTS screen display records, each of the plurality of BTS screen
display records generated from a corresponding log record of the plurality of log
records. Selected ones of the plurality of BTS screen display records corresponding
to the selected ones of the plurality of log records are modified utilizing information
from the cross reference file to form the transaction screen display report.
