Data field descriptions z/OS ISPF Dialog Tag Language Guide and Reference SC19-3620-00 |

In addition to a field prompt, you can provide additional descriptive text for a data field using the DTAFLDD (data field description) tag. You code the DTAFLDD tag following the definition of the data field being described. The DTAFLDD tag has no attributes or required end tag. Multiple data field descriptions can be coded if necessary, and each description begins a new line. The data field description appears to the right of the entry field, taking up as much room as is available, unless you have used the DESWIDTH attribute of the DTAFLD tag to specify a width for the description. If the DESWIDTH attribute is defined, the data field description is displayed within the description width specified (or defaulted), and word-wrapped on multiple lines, if necessary. This panel contains data field descriptions. Figure 1. Data field description
Here is the markup used to generate the panel in Figure 1:
