Editor options affect the behaviour and presentation of data in the File
Manager® editor.
- Group options: Controls the grouping of NOT
SELECTED and SUPPRESSED records when the editor is opened
- Shadow options: Controls the display of EXCLUDED,
NOT SELECTED and SUPPRESSED records when the editor is
opened
- Color settings: Controls the color highlighting of various data
in the editor
- Additional settings:
- Editor record cache size: Controls the number of records being
downloaded (from the host) at a time. The default cache size is 100 and the maximum
allowed is 500. The size of cache affects the performance of the editor; that is, the
larger the size of the record length of the data being downloaded from the host, the
smaller the cache size should be.
- Hex mode on: Turns on the hex display when the editor starts
- Recognize and process ISPF packed data: Unpacks ISPF packed
data when invoking the editor
- Show redefined fields on SNGL or TABL view: Displays redefined
fields in Single and Formatted/Table mode
- Assume text-only in CHAR mode: This option is applicable only when
using formatted editor without a template/copybook. When selected, it assumes the input
text is text-only so it does not attempt to preserve the original value of binary data.

You can specify a Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) per text field in File Manager® templates to specify
how text data are represented in the field. This value is used when displaying the text data in the File Manager® editor.
This preference page allows you to map from a CCSID to a corresponding Java encoding. The mapped Java encoding is used
to display the text data while using the File Manager editor. If no CCSID is specified for a field, or no mapped Java encoding
is found for the specified CCSID, then the editor uses the default encoding specified in the editor's options dialogue.
