Setting options for the current FM/Db2 editor session

To set options for the current FM/Db2 editor session, display the first of the seven Editor Options panels by entering one of the values shown here against Edit options on the Db2® View or Db2® Edit panel:

A “∕” or an “A”: Displays the first FM/Db2 Editor Options panel, prior to displaying the data for the Db2® object being processed. When the first Editor Options panel is displayed, you can navigate to one or more of the other Editor Options panels.
Usage Note: Entering an "A" in an option field changes the behavior of the dialog so that the Editor Options panel is ALWAYS displayed. Use the "/" character when you only need to refer to the editor options on a single occasion. The "/" is cleared after the option is processed returning the dialog to the default behavior, which is to NOT show the various Editor Options panels.
A number in the range 1–8: Displays the nth FM/Db2 Editor Options panel directly where n is the value entered.

Note: Any options you set on the Editor Options panels apply for the current FM/Db2 editor session only. When you exit from the FM/Db2 editor session, the editor options revert to the global editor options.

In Edit, an exception to this is the audit option if the installation settings for the currently connected Db2® sub-system specifies AUDIT=OPTIONAL,OFF. In this case there is no difference between the audit option set using the global options, or for an individual Edit session. Further, any value specified is discarded at the end of the FM/Db2 session.
