promptNeeded()

This informs the Runtime Context that the user needs to be prompted for parameters that the component needs. Other components in the action sequence will be executed to see if they also have parameters to for which to prompt. This enables the system to generate a single input form for users instead of presenting the user with a succession of input forms. For example, if the first component in an action sequence is a report component that needs a department id and the second component in the sequence is a print component that needs a printer name, the user will be presented with a single form that lets them select a department and a printer.
