Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Default field name

The service flow project tools assign a default field name to each field in a screen message when the screen message is created.

If you create a screen message by capturing a screen in the host editor (see Creating a screen message), then the host editor sets the Name property of each field in the screen message to a default field name.

A default field name has the format Fieldn, where n is the offset of the first character of the field from the first character position of the screen, which is assumed to be at offset 1. For example, assuming that the session uses 80-column rows, the field beginning at row 3, column 2 is assigned the default field name of "Field162".

If you create a screen message by importing a BMS map (see Importing a BMS map), and the BMS file already contains a name for a field, then the import function automatically uses the BMS name for that field instead of a default field name.

Similarly, if you have a screen message that you created by capturing a screen in the host editor, and you have a BMS map that corresponds to the same application screen, then you can replace the default field names in the screen descriptions with the BMS names (see Assigning BMS field names).
