CYCLE
Switches to the next window configuration in sequence.
integer
An integer in the range 1 to 6, selecting the window configuration. The initial setting is 1.
LOG or MONITOR or SOURCE or MEMORY
Specifies the sequence of window assignments within the selected configuration (left to right, top to bottom). There must be three objects specified and they must all be different. You cannot specify both MEMORY and LOG in the same sequence.
ON
Activates the z/OS® Debugger full-screen services.
OFF
Activates line mode. This mode is forced if the terminal is not a supported full-screen device.

Usage notes

  • If neither CYCLE nor integer is specified, there is no change in the choice of configuration. If no windows are specified, there is no change in the assignment of windows to the configuration.
  • If SET SCREEN OFF is entered while debugging in full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager under TSO, the session enters line mode using the TSO terminal. If SET SCREEN ON is later entered from the TSO terminal, control reverts to full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager.
  • SET SCREEN OFF is ignored in CICS® full-screen mode and in z/OS batch while debugging in full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager.

Examples

  • Indicate that the z/OS Debugger full-screen services are used.
    SET SCREEN ON;
  • Indicate that the log window is positioned above the Source window on the left hand side of the screen and the monitor window is to occupy the upper right side portion of the screen.
