This tab must contain all the information common to all the Screens of the Dialog.
Other options are selected according to the hardware and TP monitor in use at the site.
When the Screen is generated, a WARNING type message points out erroneous parameters, if any.The communication common area constitutes the area of exchange between the various Screens of the Dialog.
As a Data Structure, it may consist of more than one Segment. When this occurs, the Segments will be redefined in the LINKAGE SECTION (WORKING-STORAGE SECTION if appropriate).
The length of the common area (5-xxnn-LENGTH in the generated programs) is determined by the combined lengths of: the Screen code (6 char.), a common area Data Structure, a field which stores the access keys of the Segments in display, and technical information (transparent).
The PCB name of the error message file (external name) must belong to the PSB.
For HP3000, you must specify the ALLBASE/SQL Database Block code for a monitor generation with a Database connection.If no first Screen is selected, the Common Area of each Screen of the Dialog is generated in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
If a first Screen is selected, the Common Area of each Screen of the Dialog is generated in the LINKAGE SECTION, except for the first Screen, where it is generated in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
A 'monitor' program is generated. It calls the selected Screen at the beginning of a Dialog and calls it again at the end of the Dialog (the external names of the first Screen displayed and of its corresponding program must have been previously defined at the Screen Definition level).
The code is required, even when the MONITOFF option has been indicated.
This field is only used with Multi-terminal type transactions.
A branching Monitor is generated. This Monitor branches to the indicated Screen at the beginning of the conversation.
This field is used for the multi-terminal type transactions.
This field is not used.
Values | Meaning |
---|---|
ATTRE | UNISYS 2200: Definition of default attributes at the Screen level. |
ATTRIB | UNISYS 2200: The display of the attributes dynamically specified (REVERSE VIDEO and BLINK) is kept. This option applies to F7020. |
CSSA | Memorizes all SSA’s during a generated access to Databases.
This option is valid with all the Screens of a Dialog. When this option is specified, all the Screens in the Dialog must be recompiled because the length of the COMMUNICATION AREA is increased. |
CVISION | GCOS6: This option allows to download the standard validations (presence validation, numeric validation, formatting of the initialization character) onto the CVISION screen manager, thus improving performances. |
DCPROC | Generates the DECLARE CURSOR of DB2,
NONSTOP SQL and DATACOM tables in the DIVISION PROCEDURE, FOC function. If this option is not specified, the DECLARE CURSOR is generated in the WORKING STORAGE SECTION. |
DFHAID | IBM CICS: its content initializes the PFKEYS Table. |
DYNAM | Pactables table DYNAM-called. |
DYNPRT | Specifies the recognition of the variable field protection
in the DE-AT table (position 5) and the automatic processing
of the protection in F7020. Enter an F in position 5 of the DE-AT table for the given Data Element. The Data Element is then protected and received by the program (nature F). This option is not available with the IBM 36, UNISYS A series variant (SDF format). |
F10 | Processes any category (top, bottom, repetitive), provided that it contains at least one variable field or access to a Segment. |
FOR | Formatting of the generated COBOL: left-justified DATA
DIVISION, no justification for the PROCEDURE DIVISION but
one COBOL command per line. This option may be entered on the Library Definition tab. In this case, the Dialog is generated in formatted COBOL even if the FOR option is not explicitly entered in this field. With this option, up to 150
lines are possible in a COBOL paragraph (between two periods).
Warning: This option still exists but is no longer maintained
|
HEXVAL | UNISYS A: Generation of fields with HEXADECIMAL value in PIC XX. |
HLPI | Generation of file access with the HLPI interface. |
HLPVAL | The values to be checked (indicated in the -D Lines of a Data Element) are sent to the error messages file even though this check has been removed from the Screen in which the Data Element is called. |
HPRT | Calls the documentation associated with the protected
fields (P or F type). This includes
the documentation associated with the Data Element as well as the Texts and
comments associated in the Screen’s -GC Lines section
(-G Lines tab), F-type lines) In the Help program, the screen flow will be: first the help on the variable Data Elements, then the help on the protected Data Elements (in the order of the -CE Lines tab). |
IMSME | Generation of the ’Multi-Screens’ variant for IMS. |
INDEXS | DL/1: Automatic generation of the Segment Accesses via
secondary indexes. This option is not compatible with the NOP58 option if the target Segment code is different from the source Segment code and if the source Segment is not generated in the PSB field. |
LOGMES | With the CICS multi-terminal and Microfocus variants,
this option generates a logical message which manages both the screen display
and the sending of messages to the communications monitor selected with the MONIT option
(if it is not a default value in the variant). AS400 and IMS: This option is used only for the Web. |
LPAGE or LPA | LOGICAL PAGING management in implicit mode (with PA1
Function Key) or in explicit mode (with a Logical Paging Operator on the Screen -CE
Lines tab). The LPAGE option is available with a monitor, a sub-monitor, or with MONITOFF. With the MONITOFF option, pagination can only be done on the same Screen. With a (sub-)monitor, pagination is possible on several
Screens by entering the Screen codes on the Dialog -W Lines tab.
For more information, please refer to the IMS-DB/DC ’On-Line Systems’ manual,
chapter ’The Generated Program’, subchapter ’Additional Screens’.
Note: If
sub-monitors are used, all the Screens that make up a paging group must be
in the same sub-monitor.
The LPAGE and SWAP options are not compatible. If they are both coded, only the LPAGE option is recognized. |
MONIT | UNISYS A Series: generation with a monitor. IBM CICS: generation with a monitor. |
MONITOFF or MOFF | IMS: One transaction code per Dialog Screen and no monitor
generation. MONITOFF and NOTRAC are incompatible. If both are entered, MONITOFF overrides NOTRAC. |
NOATTR | IMS: Generates the protected fields in the MOD without their attributes (ATTR=YES). This option is valid with all the Screens of a Dialog. |
NOLOCK | AS400: reading of the Segments without update and with
the addition of the WITH NO LOCK clause in the reading function
when the file is open in OPEN I-O. This option does not work if several Segments of a same file are accessed, some with update, some without, since READ WITH NO LOCK removes the preceding lock. |
NOOPEN | MICROFOCUS and DEC: optimization of the opens of the HE files (Help file backup) and of the LE OU EM files (error messages) and of the CONNECT to ORACLE. |
NOOPENB | HP3000, TurboImage: this option stops the opening of the TurboImage database. The OPEN is not generated in the program. |
NOPSB | Segment generation limitation: In each Screen, only the Segments used and their hierarchical parents are generated. In the monitor and sub-monitors, the PSB field is no longer generated and is not transmitted to the Screens. |
NOSAV | With DEC/VAX, GCOS7, MICROFOCUS, ICL, IBM 36 and 38, and BOS/TP: Avoids the generation of the description of, and the physical access to, the HELP file (HE). |
NOSDERR | UNISYS 2200: recognition of the ERMSG Data Element in the message, which therefore is not sent by the SEND ERROR clause. |
NOTRAC | IMS: No generation of the transaction code in the MID of the first Screen of the Dialog. |
OCF | The OCF variable is set to value ’1’ upon the first program run (Current default value). |
OFF | The Dialog’s programs and maps are generated with option MDT-OFF (default value for Gcos7 FORMS). |
ON | Default value (except for Gcos7 FORMS). The Dialog’s programs and maps are generated with option MDT-ON. |
PACSQL | Validation of the data entered in the -GG section (-G Lines tab) of the Segment for the SQL statements. |
PSBINIT | CICS-DL1 Screen with monitor option: this option allows to perform the connection to the PSB and its closing (SCHEDULE PSB and TERMINATE) on the sub-monitor and not on each Screen. |
REFER or REF | Generates the list of all the Data Elements used in
a Dialog. This list is found in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION and
has a documentary value. It includes the:
|
REPET or RPT | Validation, transfer and positioning of the attributes
for the variable fields which are repeated horizontally and/or vertically. When a repeated field is used in a Segment access, you must indicate the number of repeated uses at the Segment call level of the related Screen. |
SQLALL or SQA | SQL: All the table columns are listed in the Segment
access commands:(SELECT ALL COLDELCOn, ... INTO :FFNN-DELCOn) |
SQLCA or SQC | SQL: Generation of the SQL command INCLUDE SQLCA in WORKING-STORAGE if there is a least one DB2 or Non-Stop SQL Segment called in the Screen: (-CE Lines tab, Organization = S, Q or N). |
SQLIND or SQI | Presence indicators are generated for the Data Element before it is updated or displayed. |
SQLREF or SQR | Generation of indicators with the new V-FFnn-DELCO structure, allowing the automatic management of the cross-references. |
SSMON | This option allows the coding of one PSB for each sub-monitor instead of one PSB for all the Screens in the Dialog. (Refer to the -GG Lines section of the -G Lines tab). |
SWAP | IMS: Option to be used with a (sub-)monitor. This option allows the code of the Screen to branch to via a Function Key to be indicated in the MFS map. In each map, a 10-character FUNC field is generated and includes the PFKEY value and the external name of the next Screen to branch to For End-Of-Conversation, the external name of the Screen must be left blank. When using deferred branching, or setting OPER with the PFKEY, the external name is that of the generated map. The FUNC field is processed in the (sub-)monitor. The SWAP option improves performance as it avoids loading the program which processes the branching. Note: If
the MONITOFF or LPAGE option
is selected, the SWAP option is not taken into account.
|
TMF | TANDEM: With this option, the transactional mode can be taken into account through the generation of BEGIN-TRANSACTION and END-TRANSACTION orders in the requesters and through the generation of BEGIN-WORK and COMMIT-WORK orders in the PacWeb Communications Monitor. |
TS | CICS: Management of the Communication Area outside the LINKAGE SECTION. This area is described in WORKING and saved in TEMPORARY STORAGE by default. In addition, if MDTOFF and call of the HELP function, the Screen is saved in only one area. |
TZVAR | BULL: With this option, the reception and display areas are used in case of error. |
ZNUM | The transfer of the numeric fields in the message (F8145) is conditioned by the fact that no error was encountered (SCR-ER = 0). |
Here you specify the physical characteristics of the error message file, which are used to generate the file description and accesses.
The physical accesses are generated in function F8098. If you want to rewrite these accesses, you must overwrite this function.
The description of the error message file and the accesses to it are automatically generated. In IMS, the description of the error message file is not automatically generated. You must generate it in a Segment called in a hierarchical Database Block.
Segments are declared in the FILE DESCRIPTION and accesses are generated in function F80.
