MFS Device

Use the MFS Device palette item to add devices to a format definition file. This action is equivalent to creating the DEV statement.

When you add a device to the design canvas, the Outline view is updated.
Note: If a device is already added to the format, then subsequent devices must be added through the Outline view.
To create a device in the design canvas:
  1. Select the MFS Device icon in the palette.
  2. Click the left mouse button at any location in the design canvas. The Outline view is updated with a device icon, and the Properties view is opened.
  3. In the MFS Device Properties window, you can specify properties for the device.
    Note: When you first create a device, you can select from all supported formats provided in the New Device dialog. After you resolve the device, in the Properties view, only those device formats that are similar are available in the drop down menu. For example, if you specify the device type to be 3270P, then in the Properties view after resolution, only device types 3270P, 3270P,1 and 3270P,2 are selectable from the drop-down menu.
