Changing the NetView Screen Layout

You can customize how the following items are presented on the NetView® screen:
  • Message prefixes
  • How much of the screen is to be used for action and held messages
  • Default colors for the different classes of messages
  • Colors for the command area
  • Colors for the different fields on the screen

To define a screen layout, use the system editor to create the DSIPARM member that contains your screen definitions. The NetView program provides a sample member CNMSCNFT that you can use as a model.

To specify a customized screen layout described by DSIPARM member SHIFT01, enter: 
 override scrnfmt=shift01
To reset the screen format to the system defaults, enter: 
 override scrnfmt=*
To display the screen format currently in effect, enter: 
 list override

You can also control message colors and attributes using the NetView automation table.
