This panel allows you to manage the list of keyword-data pairs.
You can use this panel to let SA z/OS perform user specified actions in case the current message requires more specific automation than provided by the generic routines. Using the ACFFQRY common routine from within a REXX exec, you can retrieve the keywords entered into this panel and process them as needed. Syntax rules for how to specify user data is available in the online help. For information on how to use ACFFQRY in a REXX exec, see ACFFQRY in IBM Z System Automation Programmer's Reference.
- Mixed case
- Specify whether the value entered in the Data field remains unchanged (YES) or is translated to upper case characters automatically (NO).
- Keyword length
- For better readability only the first 20 characters of the Keyword value and the first 55 characters of the Data value is shown. Enter a value in this field to change how much of each field is visible.
- Keyword
- A value is required and should represent the keyword that will be assigned to the user data.
- Data
- A value is required and can contain any characters. There are, however, rules regarding how the data value must be delimited if it contains any special characters. For more information about these rules, see the online help.
You can use line commands in the Cmd field to manipulate the entries on this panel as described in Line Commands on Message Processing Panels in How to View Long Input Fields in Full Length.
