Working with the HCD Profile Options dialog
You can maintain your HCD profile values in your profile data set using the HCD dialog. Select Edit profile options and policies from the HCD Primary Task Selection panel and then select HCD profile options from the Profile Options and Policies menu to invoke the HCD Profile Options dialog.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘You can add, delete or modify keywords in your profile data set via this dialog. When you leave the HCD session, HCD writes all changes specified in this dialog to the profile data set.
In this dialog, all HCD profile keywords are listed in alphabetical order, followed to the right by their value and possibly a description (user comment). To see the Description column, scroll to the right (Shift + PF8).
- If a profile data set exists, HCD reads the contained keywords with their values and, if available, their descriptions. For keywords that are not explicitly defined in your profile data set, HCD shows the defaults.
- If you have no own profile data set allocated, this dialog lists the HCD default values. You cannot change these settings.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘If you change a displayed default value, HCD writes the changed entry into your data set.
The HCD Profile Options dialog accepts a description (comment) of maximum 32 characters. A comment must start on the same line as the keyword assignment, using the ‘/*’ notation.
If you specified a longer comment in a manually edited profile data set, HCD shows the truncated comment only and also truncates the text in the profile data set the next time, HCD writes any modifications from the dialog.
For profile keywords which may occur multiple times with different value assignments, the dialog offers actions to add or delete selected entries (action codes ‘a’ or ‘d’). Profile keywords which can only occur with a single value assignment are disabled for any action by a # sign in the action column.
Column A: This column is set to Y(es), if a change of the keyword value will become active immediately. Value N(o) denotes that the value change does not become active until the next start of HCD.
Column Value: You can overtype the current values. Also, if you position the cursor on a value in this column, you have the following options:
- Pressing PF4 lets you prompt for available values (PF4) where applicable, and select one value from the offered list.
- By pressing PF1, you can obtain an explanation of the selected keyword.
