The wizard tag represents the steps of a task, where each step is defined in its own window. You complete the task by navigating through the windows using Back, Next, Finish, Cancel, and Help buttons within each window. The AS/400 user interface framework sets the correct platform look and feel for wizards, just as it does for individual panels.

The following is the basic syntax of the wizard tag:

<WIZARD name=name>

where name identifies the wizard programmatically.

The wizard tag can be expanded with the following elements:
<WIZARD name=name>
	<STEP>title<STEP>
	<PAGE resource=resource_name name=panel_name [stepindex=index]
</WIZARD>
