view.
Note: You must press Enter to commit properties
changes and update the Outline view.
MFS Message
You can set
the following
Basic properties:
- Name
- Specify the message name.
- Type
- Select the message type from the drop-down list.
- Fill
- Specify the fill character from the drop-down list.
- Format
- This parameter lists the referenced device format in the SOR= operand.
The value is taken from the FMT label and cannot be modified.
- Next Message
- Specifies a request to dequeue the output message in progress
(if any), and send the next output message or return an information
message indicating that no next message exists.
- Paging
- Specify whether operator logical paging (forward and backward
paging) is to be provided for messages edited using this control block.
The option is disabled by default, which means that only forward paging
of physical pages is provided.
This option is only available for
the Output type.
- Ignore
- Specify whether device features are to be ignored for this device.
MFS Logical Page
You can
set the following
Basic properties:
- Name
- Specify a name to uniquely identify this statement. The length
is from one to eight alphanumeric characters.
- DPAGE Name
- Specify the name of the DPAGE statement that defines the device
format for this logical page.
The following logical page properties are used
to describe a conditional test that, if successful, specifies that
the segment and field definitions following this LPAGE are to be used
for output editing of this logical page. The specified portion of
the first segment of a logical page is examined to determine whether
it is greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal
to (≥), less than or equal to (≤), equal to (=), or not equal to (≠)
the specified literal value, in order to determine whether this LPAGE
is to be used for editing. COND= is not required for the last LPAGE
statement in the MSG definition.
- Message Field
- Select the associated message field from the drop-down list.
- Offset
- Specify the offset value, which changes the starting position
of the selected message field.
- SegOffset
- Specify the offset value, which changes the starting position
of the logical page.
- Operator
- Select an operator from the drop-down list.
- Value
- Specify the literal value that should be used to compare for the
logical page condition.
- Prompt
- Specify the name of the DFLD into that MFS should insert the specified
literal when formatting the last logical page of an output message.
- Prompt Value
- Specify the prompt value.
MFS Segment
You can set
the following
Basic properties:
- Name
- Specify the segment name.
- Exit Number
- For the segment edit exit routine interface, this property is
the exit routine number. The valid range is from 0 to 127.
- Exit Vector
- For the segment edit exit routine interface, this property is
a value to be passed to the exit routine when it is invoked for this
segment. The valid range is from 0 to 255.
- Graphic
- For an input message, this setting specifies whether IMS™ should
perform uppercase translation on the segment, if the destination definition
requests it. This option is disabled by default.
MFS Message Field
You
can set the following
Basic properties:
- Name
- Specify the field name.
- Device Field
- Length
- Specify the field length.
- Literal
- Specify the literal value to be inserted into the input message.
- First Byte
- Justify
- Select the field justification from the drop-down list.
- System Literal
- Select the system literal from the drop-down list.
- Fill
- Select a character to be used to pad this field when the length
of the data received from the device is less than the length of this
field.
You can set the following
Attributes properties:
- Extended Attributes
- Exit Number
- This parameter sets the exit routine number for the field edit
exit routine interface. The range of values is from 0 to 127.
- Exit Vector
- This parameter sets the value to be passed to the exit routine
when it is invoked for this field. The range of values is from 0 to
255.
- Attributes
- This option specifies whether the application program can modify
the 3270 attributes.
- System Control Area
- This option specifies an output field as the system control area,
which is not displayed on the output device.
