SCLM Edit - Entry Panel fields

Project

The project that you specified on the SCLM Main Menu. An Alternate field also appears if you specified an alternate project.

Group

The development group that you specified in the Group field on the SCLM Main Menu. This group is followed by the next key group in the hierarchy up to four groups.

The SCLM editor ensures that editing occurs only in development groups by not allowing you to change the value of the first group field. SCLM guarantees that the group is a valid development library by verifying it against the specified project definition. (All other displayed groups are in unprotected fields and you can alter them.)

If the order of the groups is specified so that it does not match the hierarchical view for the development group, SCLM does not allow the edit session and displays the message "Invalid library order". If F1 is pressed twice, SCLM displays a panel showing all groups that comprise the hierarchical view of the development group.

If you specify a group that is defined in the project definition but not allocated, and then request a member list, the library (LIB) numbers on the member list panel might not be what is expected. SCLM treats an unallocated group as if the group field were blank and ignores that group. When this situation exists, SCLM provides a panel that shows how the LIB numbers correspond to the existing groups.

Type

The identifier for the type of information in the SCLM group, such as SOURCE, ARCHDEF, or PANELS.

Member

The name of an SCLM-controlled or non-SCLM-controlled partitioned data set member. Leaving this field blank or typing a pattern as a member name causes SCLM to display a member list.

Initial Macro

An edit macro to be processed before you begin editing. This initial macro overrides any IMACRO value in your profile.

If you leave the Initial Macro field blank and your edit profile includes an IMACRO specification, the initial macro from your edit profile is processed.

If you want to suppress the processing of an initial macro in your edit profile, enter NONE in the Initial Macro field. See z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros for more information.

Profile Name

The name of an edit profile that you can use to override the default edit profile. See z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros for more information.

Confirm Cancel/ Move/Replace

Allows you to specify whether a confirmation panel will appear for these options.

Mixed Mode

You can edit unformatted mixed data that contains both EBCDIC (1-byte) characters and Double Byte Character Set (DBCS or 2-byte) characters. To do this, you must specify Mixed Mode. When you select Mixed Mode, the editor looks for shift-out and shift-in delimiters surrounding DBCS data. If you do not select it, the editor does not accept mixed data. If your terminal does not support DBCS, SCLM Edit ignores the operation mode.

Edit on Workstation

Select this option to edit the host data set member on the workstation using the workstation editor configured in the ISPF tool integrator. For more information, see the section on Workstation Tool Integration in the Settings (Option 0) chapter of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II. Do not select this option if you want to edit the host data set member on the host using SCLM EDIT.

Preserve VB record length

When you select this field with a "/", it specifies that the editor store the original length of each record in variable-length data sets and when a record is saved, the original record length is used as the minimum length for the record. The minimum length can be changed using the SAVE_LENGTH edit macro command. The editor always includes a blank at the end of a line if the length of the record is zero or eight.

Change Code

Optionally, you can specify a change code to indicate why you updated the member. Change codes cannot contain commas.

Authorization Code

Optionally, you can specify a current authorization code for the member. If you do not specify an authorization code, the default authorization code is used for the member. Authorization codes cannot contain commas.

Parser Volume

The specific volume ID in which SCLM stores output from the SCLM parser. This field is not required.
