This tab enables you to enter information common to all of the Screens of the Dialog, and data regarding the physical environment of the transaction.
Other options are selected according to the environment and TP monitor in use at the site.
Different values can be entered in the Options field where they should be separated by a 'blank' character. When the Screen is generated, a warning points out erroneous parameters, if any.The communication common area constitutes the area of exchange between the various Screens of the Dialog.
To specify the Data Structure which constitutes the common area, click the Modify button and select a Data Structure in the selection box.
This Data Structure will store the information that is common to all of the Screens of a Dialog and the necessary Segment access keys.
If the selected Data Structure consists of more than one Segment, 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 specified, the Common Area of each Screen of the Dialog is generated in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
If a first Screen is specified, 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 in the Screen Definition).
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 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 the 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. CICS: The dynamic modification of the presentation attributes is taken into account. This option applies to F7020. |
CSSA | Memorizes all the SSA's during a generated
access to a Database. This option is valid for 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 PROCEDURE
DIVISION, 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 then becomes protected and is 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: Generates fields with an HEXADECIMAL value in PIC XX. |
HLPI | Generates the 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 associated Texts and comments in the Screen's -GC Lines section 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 | Generates the 'Multi-Screens' variant for IMS. |
INDEXS | DL/1: Generates 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 | Manages the LOGICAL PAGING 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, paging can only be performed on the same Screen. With a (sub-)monitor, paging
is possible on several Screens by entering the Screen codes on the
Dialog -W Lines tab.
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 indicated, 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, only the MONITOFF option is recognized. |
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: Reads the Segments without update and
with the addition of the WITH NO LOCK clause in the
read 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: Optimizes the opening of the HE file (Help file backup), the LE, OU, EM files (error messages) and the CONNECT to ORACLE. |
NOOPENB | HP3000, TurboImage: 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 in use and their hierarchical parents are generated. In the monitor and sub-monitors, the PSB field is no longer generated and is not sent to the Screens. |
NOSAV | With DEC/VAX, GCOS7, MICROFOCUS, ICL, IBM 36 and 38, and BOS/TP: Avoids generating the description of, and the physical access to the HE HELP file. |
NOSDERR | UNISYS 2200: Recognizes the ERMSG Data Element in the message, which therefore is not sent by the SEND ERROR clause. |
NOTRAC | IMS: The transaction code is not generated 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 the MDT-ON option. |
PACSQL | Takes into account the data entered in the Segment -GG Lines for the SQL statements. |
PSBINIT | CICS-DL1 Screen with monitor option: Allows to perform the connection to the PSB and its termination (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 in the Segment call of the 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: The INCLUDE SQLCA is generated in the WORKING-STORAGE if one or more DB2 or Non-Stop SQL Segment is 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 | The indicators are generated for 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 to indicate, in the MFS map, the code of the Screen to branch to via a Function Key. 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 is recognized by the generation of BEGIN-TRANSACTION and END-TRANSACTION in the requesters and of BEGIN-WORK and COMMIT-WORK orders in the PacWeb Communications Monitor. |
TS | CICS: The Communication Area is managed 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 to 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 describe it in a Segment called in a hierarchical Database Block.
Segments are declared in FD and accesses are generated in function F80.
