Precedence

You can include more than one INPUT_AREA or ONLINE_MESSAGE statement in the configuration file, but CP will use only the last occurrence of a given statement during logo processing. For example,

     Input_Area  INPUT FILE

followed by

     Input_Area  INPUT AREA

would cause CP to use the file INPUT AREA instead of INPUT FILE.

You can code a STATUS statement for each of the different operands. You can code multiple STATUS statements with the same operand, but CP will use only the last one with a given operand. For example,

     Status Running 'Going   '

followed by

     Status Running 'Gone    '

would cause CP to use Gone instead of Going.

You should code CHOOSE_LOGO statements in three separate groups, one for each of the following categories:

Locally attached terminals
Terminals logging on through logical devices
Terminals managed by a VSM.

Within these groups, you should code statements in the order of least specific to most specific. Statements that choose logo picture files for certain terminals within a group should occur after statements that choose files for all the terminals in that group.

CP puts the information specified on each group of CHOOSE_LOGO statements into separate search chains, which it searches from the bottom up. When CP encounters a terminal, it goes through the search chain established for similar terminals until it finds a statement that applies to the specific terminal. Thus, for a given terminal, CP uses the last statement in the logo configuration file that applies.
