You use this section in relation to a given Screen or Dialog (for example: for error messages), or to override some of the values of the generated constants.
For each option, you must enter G in the Type column.
Modification of the value of the TYPE parameter (Terminal type) in the DEV macro-instruction 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 macro-instruction 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, MICROFOCUS, 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 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 MICROFOCUS: ZAR980.EXE in DOS, ZAR980.DLL in OS/2, UNIX).
For IBM CICS, ZAR980 corresponds to 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 executed). (Default value: 1000)
DISPLAY FILE external name. (Default value: SCRFILE).
Option to write the TEMPORARY STORAGE in AUXILIARY STORAGE (’AUXILIARY’) instead of MAIN STORAGE. (Default value: MAIN)
Character string (11 characters maximum) for the HELP Screen title. (Default value: SPACE).
Name of file used by the monitor in order to save the communication area.
For a Web connection, all hardware except IMS.
Name of the contextual backup file for a WEB connection.
At the Dialog or sub-monitor level, for Screens using DB2 segments:
For each DBRM: external name of the Screen (8 characters).
The lines which include this parameter are grouped as comments at the beginning of the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION of the generated (sub-)monitor.
This parameter takes the values ’ARRAY’ or ’TABLE’ if a field is repeated horizontally AND vertically on the Screen. The logical message will be initialized from the physical message, so that they will match.
For the multi-terminal type variant, name of the subprogram to replace the standard ’PRCGI’ subprogram (external name D4R980) that formats a ’3270’ type message.
It enables you to 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 will therefore be 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.
This parameter requires that the ATTRE option be used in the Dialog Complement tab. With this option, the definition of the default attributes is generated for each Screen.
Recognition of lowercase characters in the DDS of the format of the screens in clause CHGINPDFT (LC). The Value LC entered after the second tabulation in the Description field must be typed in uppercase characters.
Generation of the ESCAPE ON clause on the screen’s 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 PFKey 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 description. This description is generated by default from line 00001 onwards. The first two digits of this line number can now be parameterized.
Parameterization of the loading of the backup file's key 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 area in which the key is initialized (for example USER-ID defined in the TDS-STORAGE).
33 USER-ID
The name of this area is limited to 14 characters. The default value of this parameter is ’XTERM’ and the key loading is performed from the K-Sscre-XTERM area.
Parameter which indicates the size of the backup file in the common area.
Length of the logical message (5 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’s context backup file.
Format: 40 characters long
Name of the Tandem process
Format: 20 characters long
In order to implement this option, the SSMON value must be entered on the Dialog Complement tab, in the Options field.
