You use these lines on a given Screen, Server, Dialog, or Server Dialog to override some of the values of the generated constants.
Moreover, if this line is not correct, this column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the error gravity. A hover help indicates the source of the error.
Modification of the value of the TYPE parameter (terminal type) in the DEV macroinstruction of the MFS format description. (default value: TYPE=(3270,2)).
Type Description G 01 n 3270-A1 G 01 n 3270-A2with n = 0-9
Modification of the value of the FILL parameter in the MFLD macroinstruction of the MOD. (default value: FILL=PT).
Modification of the external name of the program which manages the accesses to the Pactables function. (default value: PACTABLE).
Modification of the name of the Screen backup file when the help function is called: (default value: HE)
DEC/VAX, ICL, IBM 36, IBM 38/AS 400, MICRO FOCUS, DM6 TP and BOS/TP:
Modification of the name of the Screen backup file for help function calls. The new value must be coded as: XX EXTERN, where: XX is the name of the file and EXTERN is the external name of this file. Two blank characters must be inserted between these two names. (default value: HE SAVESCR).
Modification of the first four characters of the name of the TS used by the help function. (default value: PAC7).
Value used to replace blanks in the output messages. (default value: 19).
Modification of the NORMAL value of the intensity attribute. (default value: SPACE).
Modification of the BRIGHT value of the intensity attribute. (default value: BD).
Modification of the DARK value of the intensity attribute. (default value: CN).
Database lock shift (Y/N) when access with update. (default value: LOCKED).
Modification of the name of the subprogram called for message reception and formatting. (default value: ZAR980. For MICRO FOCUS: ZAR980.EXE in DOS, and ZAR980.DLL in OS/2, UNIX).
For IBM CICS, ZAR980 corresponds to the user program PRUSER To replace the standard PRCGI, see parameter number 22.
For Dialog web revamping, use the ZAR990 program which is the same as ZAR980 but with a web specificity.
Modification of the number of characters sent in each DISPLAY for the message display. (default value: 2000).
Modification of the number of characters sent in each message DISPLAY (when there are too many characters, another DISPLAY is run). (default value: 1000).
External name of the display file. (default value: SCRFILE).
Option to write the TEMPORARY STORAGE in the AUXILIARY STORAGE instead of the MAIN STORAGE. (default value: MAIN)
Character string (11 characters maximum) for the help screen title. (default value: SPACE).
Name of the file used by the monitor in order to save the communication area.
At the Dialog or submonitor level, for Screens using DB2 segments:
For each DBRM: external name of the Screen (eight characters).
The lines which include this parameter are grouped as comments at the beginning of the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION of the generated monitor or submonitor.
This parameter takes the values ARRAY or TABLE if a field is repeated horizontally and vertically on the screen. The logical message is initialized from the physical message, so that they match.
For the multiterminal type variant, name of the subprogram which replaces the standard PRCGI subprogram (external name D4R980) that formats a 3270 type message.
You can replace the default intensity attribute NORMAL with LOW, since some screens do not make any difference between the NORMAL and HIGH intensity values.
The LOW attribute is therefore present in the generated map (form name) of the considered Screen, along with the other default label attributes, specified in the Dialog or Screen definition.
The ATTRE option must be indicated in the Dialog Complement tab. With this option, the definition of the default attributes is generated for each Screen.
Generation of the ESCAPE ON clause on the screen ACCEPT. (Default value = SPACE). The information specified for this parameter (up to 40 characters) will be added after the ESCAPE ON clause.
Assignment of a function key for end of input when a PF key is not used as the operation code.
BMS map: modification of the parameters of the CTRL option contained in the definition of the map set (DFHMSD).
By default, the generation is: CTRL=(FREEKB,FRSET).
The modified parameters are parenthesized instead of FREEKB,FRSET.
Insertion of working descriptions between the I-O-MESSAGE area and the other areas of the LINKAGE SECTION
To do so, you must indicate the location of the Dialog LINKAGE SECTION description. This description is generated by default from line 00001 onwards. The first two digits of this line number can now be parameterized.
Loading of the key of the backup file for the help function.
By default, the key is loaded from the terminal code defined in the TRANSACTION-STORAGE. To parameterize the key loading, the parameter 33 is associated with the DATA DIVISION in which the key is initialized (for example USER-ID defined in the TDS-STORAGE).
33 USER-ID
The name of this field is limited to 14 characters. The default value of this parameter is XTERM and the key loading is performed from the K-Sscre-XTERM field.
Parameter which indicates the size of the backup file of the Dialog common area.
Length of the logical message (five characters). The default value of this parameter is 14000. It does not include the length of the constant part of the message.
Name of the Dialog context backup file.
Format: 40 characters long
Name of the TANDEM process
Format: 20 characters long
In order to implement this option, you must specify SSMON in the Options field of the Dialog Complement tab.
