Each option is described in this topic. Use a slash to select an option. Blank out the slash to deselect the option.

Command line at bottom

Specifies that the command line is to appear at the bottom of each logical screen. If you have specified that the panel should be displayed in CUA mode, the command line placement defaults to the bottom.

Note:

1. The default is to have the command line placement at the bottom. However, if your current application profile table specifies ASIS, the default does not override it.
2. If you deselect this field, the command line appears as specified in the panel definition statements. Unless indicated in the panel definition, it appears at the top of the panel.

When you select the Command line at bottom option, these changes take place:

• The command line moves to the last line of the logical screen or the line above the function keys depending on the CUA mode setting (see Table 1).
• Each line that follows the command line shifts up one line.
• The long message overlays the line above the new command line location.

  If the command line for a table display panel has been moved to the bottom and if no alternate placement has been specified for the long message line, the line directly above the repositioned command line is reserved (left blank) for the display of long messages. Otherwise, if you enter erroneous data on that line, a long message could overlay that data.

• In general, the display location of the function key definitions depends on several variables.
  • If the panel display mode CUA option is not selected, and the KEYLIST option is set to OFF, the function key definitions display on the lines immediately above the long message line.
  • If the panel display mode CUA option is on, and the KEYLIST option is set to OFF, the function key definitions display below the long message line.
  • If the KEYLIST option is set to ON, and the panel definition does not contain a )PANEL statement, the positioning of the function keys depends on the CUA mode setting.
  • If the KEYLIST option is set to ON, and the panel definition contains a )PANEL statement, the positioning of the function keys is below the long message line.

  If the Panel display CUA mode option is not selected, an exception to this situation occurs when an alternate placement for the long message line has been specified using the LMSG keyword on the )BODY header statement. Under these circumstances, the function key definitions display immediately above the command line.

If a conflict occurs between the placement of the function key definition lines and those that are to display long messages, short messages, and commands, the function keys will not overlay the command line, the line containing the long or short message field, or any line above one of these fields. Because of this condition, function key definition lines cannot appear at all on some screens.

When using the GDDM® interface to display panels, the position of a graphics field does not change if the command line moves to the bottom of the screen.

In split-screen mode, if the top screen specifies the Command line at bottom option, the command line is moved to the line directly above the split line, and the long message line overlays the line above the command line. Because the placement setting is stored in the application profile pool, the setting for each logical screen is the same unless a user is running different applications in each screen.

Panel display CUA mode

Specifies that panels be displayed in CUA mode. This selection affects how the long message line, command line, and function keys are displayed, as described in Table 1.

The table summarizes how the command, long message, and function key area appear on the panel depending on whether you select the Panel display in CUA mode option. Note that the table uses the system default to position the long message field. An alternate long message field is not defined using the LMSG keyword on the )BODY header statement.

Table 1. CUA mode effect on panel display

Panel Characteristic	CUA mode selected	CUA mode not selected
Command line at bottom	Long message line Command line Fn=name	PF n=name Long message line Command line
Command line at bottom deselected	Title/short message Command line Long message line ⋮ Fn=name	Title/short message Command line Long message line ⋮ PF n=name

Table 2 summarizes the effect of CUA mode on the top-row-displayed indicator.

Table 2. CUA mode effect on top-row-displayed indicator

CUA Mode	Rows	Top-Row-Displayed Message	Message ID
YES	ALL	Row x to z of y	ISPZZ102
YES	SCAN	Row x From y	ISPZZ103
NO	ALL	Row x of y	ISPZZ100
NO	SCAN	Row x of y	ISPZZ100

Long message in pop-up

Specifies that long messages will be displayed in a pop-up window, regardless of the .WINDOW setting in the message source.

Tab to action bar choices

Specifies that you want to use the Tab key to move the cursor among the action bar choices.

Note: You cannot use the Tab key for this purpose if you are running in GUI mode.

Tab to point-and-shoot fields

Specifies that you want to use the Tab key to move the cursor through the point-and-shoot fields on a panel.

Note: You cannot use the Tab key for this purpose if you are running in GUI mode.

Restore TEST/TRACE options

When you select Dialog Test facility (option 7), certain TEST and TRACE options are established that can be different than those specified during ISPF start up. If you select Restore TEST/TRACE options, the TEST or TRACE values are restored to the ISPF call values when you exit dialog test. If you deselect the field, the TEST or TRACE values are not restored when you exit dialog test.

For more information about dialog test, see Dialog test (option 7).

Session Manager mode

Enter a slash to indicate that the Session Manager should handle any line mode output from the processing program.

Jump from leader dots

Enter a slash to enable the ISPF jump function from field prompts that have leader dots ( . . or ... ). Field prompts that have the ==> will always have the jump function enabled.

If the application developer defines the NOJUMP(ON) attribute keyword on a specific input field, this disables the "Jump from leader dots" and takes precedence over the selected Settings "Jump from leader dots" or the configuration table setting of "YES" for "Jump from leader dots".

Edit PRINTDS Command

Enter a slash to intercept the local print request to allow you to modify the statement before the PRINTDS command begins. For more information on editing the PRINTDS command, see the Libraries and Data Sets topic in z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.

Always show split line

Specifies that the split line in split screen mode, as seen on a 3270 display, should always be shown. The default for this option is that the option is selected. By deselecting this option, the split line does not display when the screen is split at the top or the bottom of the screen.

Enable EURO Sign

Enter a slash to enable the EURO sign (currency symbol). Your terminal or emulator must support the EURO sign for this option to work.

Scroll member list

Enter a slash to specify that ISPF should scroll to the first member selected in the member list after processing. If the Option field is deselected, automatic member list scrolling is disabled and the cursor is placed in front of the last member selected.

Allow empty member list

Specifies whether an empty member list will be displayed for a PDS that contains no members.

Allow empty member list (nomatch)

If the 'Allow empty member list' option is set, this field specifies whether an empty list that results from a nonmatching pattern will be displayed.

Empty member list for edit only

Specifies whether empty member list options apply to non-edit functions such as View and Browse.
