DLI Mode Options panel

The DLI Mode Options panel allows you to view and modify selected options used by the FM/IMS functions when run in DLI mode.

The panel is displayed when option 4 is selected on the Subsystem Settings Menu. The Subsystem field displays the IMS subsystem ID you specified on the Subsystem Settings Menu.

The panel displays the options that an online FM/IMS function uses when a DLI region type is selected and this IMS subsystem ID is specified on the function's Entry panel.

The FM/IMS administrator may have fixed the values of some or all of the options displayed on the panel.

If an option has been fixed, the panel field will be protected and you will not be able to change the specified value. If an option has not been fixed, you can change the value that has been specified for it.

Enter the RESET command, to reset all the options on the panel to their subsystem defaults.

Enter the EXIT command (F3), to exit the panel saving the changes you have made.

Enter the CANCEL command (F12), to exit the panel without saving the changes you have made.
