Division properties

When a division is selected in the Outline view, or the DIV statement in the MFS source is selected, the division properties are displayed in the Properties view.

The following are the editable properties that can be modified for the division.

Name
Specify an optional name to uniquely identify this statement. The length is from one to eight alphanumeric characters.
Type
Specify the format as input-only (INPUT), output-only (OUTPUT), or both (INOUT).
Compression
Select the compression from the drop-down list:
  • SHORT - MFS removes trailing blanks from short fields.
  • FIXED - MFS removes trailing blanks from fixed-length fields.
  • ALL - MFS removes trailing blanks from all fields presented by the application program.
This option is valid for divisions with a type of OUTPUT.
