Guidelines for constructing panel definitions

Panel definitions are constructed according to specific guidelines. You should be aware of these guidelines if you are constructing a panel definition from scratch, instead of copying and modifying an existing definitions

• The first non-comment line of a workspace panel definition must contain a <WORKSPACE> tag. The first noncomment line of a popup panel must contain a <POPUP> tag.
• The end of a workspace panel definition must be marked by a corresponding <WORKSPACEEND> tag. The end of a popup panel definition must be marked by a corresponding <POPUPEND> tag. Anything after this tag is ignored.
  Note: If you do not specify an end tag, the end of the file is the interpreted as the end of panel definition. Since the rest of the file is ignored, using an explicit end tag allows you to ignore part of the file, for example if you are testing a panel definition.
• Any text values that contain a space must be enclosed in single or double quotation marks. If text contains a single quotation mark, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Any comma-delimited list (for example, DISPLAYCOLS='CICSPLEX,PLEXRATE,PLEXCPUP') must also be enclosed in quotation marks.
• Some keywords must be specified in a particular order (see Panel definition keywords). Comments (/*) are allowed anywhere in the definition.
• Comment lines and blank lines are ignored.
