HLPEXCLD (Help Excluded) keyword for display files
You use this help-specification-level keyword to indicate that the online help information associated with this help specification is not displayed as extended help, but is available as item-specific help.
This keyword has no parameters.
If you do not specify this keyword, extended help consists of the online help information associated with both the file-level HLPPNLGRP keyword (if any) and the HLPPNLGRP keyword on all active help specifications.
This keyword is allowed only on help-specifications that specify a HLPPNLGRP keyword.
At least one instance of each parameter on the HLPPNLGRP keyword should not have the HLPEXCLD keyword specified. If all help specifications specifying a particular help panel group name are excluded, an error message is issued at run time if the Help key is pressed when the cursor is located in a help area associated with that help panel group name.
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
Example
The following example shows how to specify the HLPEXCLD keyword.
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
A R RECORD1
A
A H HLPARA(1 12 8 14)
A HLPPNLGRP(R1 PNLA)
A H HLPARA(1 18 8 19)
A HLPPNLGRP(R2 PNLA)
A H HLPARA(1 35 8 37)
A HLPPNLGRP(R1 PNLA)
A HLPEXCLD
A H HLPARA(1 49 8 50)
A HLPPNLGRP(R2 PNLA)
A HLPEXCLD
A
In this example, the HLPEXCLD keywords prevent help modules R1 and R2 from being displayed twice as extended help.
