.
1) IF A CALL CONCERNS THE 'PDF' DATASTREAM, IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS
A 'DIALOG MANAGER' (DM) CALL,AS PDF DOES NOT ISSUE 'TPUTS'.
SYMPTOMS IN THIS AREA WOULD INCLUDE: PROGXXX, MSGIKT00405I, ISPF
SCREEN ERROR CODE NN, WRONG SCREEN SIZE, ETC. A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC
CHECK FOR A GARBLED PDF SCREEN IS TO SEE IF THE 'RESHOW' KEY,
(PA2), STRAIGTHENS IT OUT. IF THE RESHOW KEY CORRECTS THE SCREEN
,IT IS A DIALOG MANAGER RELATED CALL, BECAUSE PDF NEVER RECEIVES
CONTROL DURING A RESHOW.
.
2) PROBLEMS CONCERNING 'PDF' OPTION 6 ARE ALMOST ALWAYS A DIALOG
MANAGER RELATED CALL. A SIMPLE WAY TO REMOVE OPTION 6 FROM THE
PICTURE IS TO RUN THE FAILING COMMAND FROM A DIFFERENT PANEL BY
PREFIXING IT WITH THE 'TSO' COMMAND. FOR EXAMPLE: A CLIST NAMED
'ABC' FAILS WHEN INVOKED FROM OPTION 6, GO TO ANOTHER OPTION AND
TYPE "TSO ABC" ON THE COMMAND LINE. IF IT FAILS, THE CALL IS A
DIALOG MANAGER RELATED CALL.
.
3) DIALOGS USING 'ISPEXEC' OR 'ISPLINK' CALLS ARE NOW SLIGHTLY
LESS CLEAR-CUT THAN IN PREVIOUS RELEASES BECAUSE 'PDF' SERVICES
CAN BE INVOKED IN THIS WAY. THE 'BROWSE','EDREC', AND 'EDIT'
SERVICES,AS WELL AS ANY SERVICE WHICH BEGINS WITH THE CHARACTERS
'LM' (SUCH AS LMPUT), BELONG TO 'PDF'. ALL OTHER SERVICES THAT
ARE REQUESTED BY DIALOGS VIA 'ISPEXEC' OR 'ISPLINK' BELONG TO
THE DIALOG MANAGER.
.
4) 'EDIT' MACROS HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO INVOKE ALL THE DIALOG
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. THE AVERAGE 'EDIT' MACRO USES ONLY EDIT
COMMANDS, BUT IF IT USES 'FILE TAILORING' OR 'TABLE SERVICES' OR
OTHER DIALOG MANAGER SERVICES, A PROBLEM WITH THOSE SERVICES
WOULD BE A DIALOG MANAGER RELATED CALL.
.
5) 'PDF' OPTION 7 (DIALOG TEST) IS USED TO TEST DIALOGS. IF THE
CALL INDICATES INCORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THE 'DIALOG TEST' OPTION
ITSELF, IT WOULD BE A 'PDF' PROBLEM. PROBLEMS WITH THE DIALOG
BEING TESTED ARE PROBABLY DIALOG MANAGER RELATED PROBLEMS.
.
6) FOR ABENDS, DETERMINE THE FIRST THREE (3) CHARACTERS OF THE
ABENDING CSECT. AN "ISP" MEANS A DIALOG MANAGER RELATED PROBLEM.
AN "ISR" INDICATES A 'PDF' RELATED PROBLEM.
