Given the power of Delete from Group, there are some restrictions
in the dialog interface. Explanations for the restrictions and
instructions for modifying the dialog to remove such restrictions follow.
The Group field is restricted to disallow patterns.
To remove this restriction:
- Edit the panel FLMDDG#P. It is recommended that you update the
DTL version instead of the generated panel to avoid losing the
changes if the panel is regenerated. See z/OS ISPF Dialog Tag Language Guide and Reference
for more information.
- Replace the line:
<dtafld datavar=DGLEVEL usage=both
entwidth=8 pmtwidth=12 >&lib_prompt;
with the lines:
<dtafld datavar=DGLEVEL usage=both
deswidth=41 entwidth=9 pmtwidth=12 >&lib_prompt;
<dtafldd>(Pattern can be used)
or with the lines:
<dtafld datavar=DGLEVEL usage=both
deswidth=41 entwidth=17 pmtwidth=12 >&lib_prompt;
<dtafldd>(Pattern can be used)
depending upon how you resolve the next restriction. They should
be consistent if patterns are allowed.
- Edit the imbed FLMZDG#P, and replace the line:
VER(&DGLEVEL,NB,NAME)
with the line:
VER(&DGLEVEL,NONBLANK)
The Type and Member fields are restricted to 9 characters; FLMCMD
and FLMLNK allow up to 17 characters. To remove this restriction:
- Edit the panel FLMDDG#P. It is recommended that you update the
DTL version instead of the generated panel to avoid losing the
changes if the panel is regenerated. See z/OS ISPF Dialog Tag Language Guide and Reference
for more information.
- Replace the lines:
<dtacol entwidth=8 pmtwidth=12
deswidth=49 fldspace=11 >
with the lines:
<dtacol entwidth=17 pmtwidth=12
deswidth=41 fldspace=11 >
The Delete mode always defaults to Report when the panel appears.
To remove this restriction, remove the following lines from the
FLMZDG#P panel imbed:
&DMODE = 'REPORT'
&DMODEV = '2'
