Copybook View and Print: Entry panel
The Copybook View and Print: Entry panel is used to specify the template definition that you want to view or print. These field definitions can be stored in:
- a copybook
- a template that was based on a copybook (not Db2® templates)
- a dynamic template
- an IMS™ view
- an IMS™ criteria set
Panel and field definitions
- Copybook or Template
- The name of copybook, template (non Db2®), IMS™ view or IMS™ criteria set that you want to view or print,
which is specified using:
- Data set name
- The name of the sequential or partitioned data set that contains
the copybooks, templates, IMS™ views
or IMS™ criteria sets that you
want to view or print. Can be a fully-qualified data set name or a
pattern. The name may include a member name or name pattern in parenthesis.
If the member is specified here, the associated Member field
must be empty. Note: A copybook must be a member of a partitioned data set. Templates, IMS™ views and IMS™ criteria sets can be in a sequential data set.
- Member
- If you specified the name of a partitioned data set (PDS) without including a member name or name pattern in parenthesis in the Data set name field, then you can use this field to specify the member name or a member name pattern.
- Processing options
- You can specify whether to view or print the layout and also request
batch or foreground execution. The options are described below:
- View/Print Option
- This option is ignored for batch execution.
- 1. View
- Displays the report on a scrollable panel.
- 2. Print
- Prints the report to the current print data set.
- Batch execution
- Runs the function in batch. The Set Batch Job card Information panel can be used to tailor the default JOB card that File Manager uses to generate JCL.
- Show array elements
- Shows all occurrences of array elements.
For COBOL OCCURS DEPENDING ON arrays, the maximum occurrences are shown. For PL/1 REFER arrays, the minimum occurrences are shown.
- Show start/end as hex offset
- Shows start and end values as hexadecimal offsets.
- Show length in hex
- Shows length values as hexadecimal.
- Show template criteria
- Shows any identification and selection criteria contained in the
template.
If a copybook is being viewed or printed, this option has no effect.
