Declaring variables z/OS ISPF Dialog Tag Language Guide and Reference SC19-3620-00 |
|
You declare variables for dialog elements by coding variable declarations in a variable list and specifying the variable class associated with each declared variable. The variable list (VARLIST) tag and its required end tag define the variable list. You code the variable list after any variable classes and before any other tags. To declare variables, use VARDCL (variable declaration) tags within
the VARLIST definition. The VARDCL tag has two required attributes,
NAME and VARCLASS.
Here is an example where the variable list contains two
variable declarations, referred to by the data fields in the application
panel:
Note: The ISPF Dialog Tag Language conversion
utility does not require that you code the VARCLASS, VARDCL, or VARLIST
tags for a successful generation of a panel, command table, or message
member that includes variables. If the conversion utility finds a
variable that does not have an associated VARDCL definition, it issues
a suppressible warning message.
The use of the VARCLASS, VARDCL, and VARLIST tags is required if you want to use the facilities provided by the CHECKL and XLATL tags. |
