System uses function level security. Note that using function level security increases overall system resource usage. Processes (NOT functions) compiled prior to a change to this value will ignore the change and should be recompiled.

"Y"- function level security is used

other - only process level security is used

476

478

479

2

A

Specifies the prompt function key number for any non-SAA/CUA applications in the system. If you intend to use the prompt key in any non-SAA/CUA application, this area must contain a valid function key number in the range "01" to "24". For SAA/CUA applications the prompt function key number defined at the partition level is used instead of any value defined here.

480

Controls the execution of a RCLRSC (reclaim resources) command on exit from LANSA, which closes all files opened by LANSA.

"Y"- execute RCLRSC on exit from LANSA

other - do not execute RCLRSC on exit from LANSA.

other - do not execute RPLLIBL on exit from LANSA.

482

482

Indicates if pre-release 2.5 LANSA I/O modules are required. These are programs in the file library prefixed by "I@" that are only required by programs compiled prior to LANSA Release 2.5.

"N"- pre-release 2.5 I/O modules are not required.

other - pre-release 2.5 I/O modules are required.

This value is no longer used to determine the TGTRLS value that LANSA compiles and saves are to use.

A

Vertical bar character to be used on reports such as RDML listings. If this value is left as blank (X'40') it defaults to ":" (X'6A'). This may not be suitable for some national language sets and should be changed.

485

485

1

A

Horizontal bar character to be used on reports such as RDML listings. If this value is left as blank (X'40') it defaults to "-" (X'60'). This may not be suitable for some national language sets and should be changed.

486

A

External Security Matching. This is set to a "Y" to indicate that LANSA database security should be reflected into IBM i object level security. This option only applies to files set up and maintained by LANSA. It does not apply to "OTHER" files. Refer to the security references in Reviewing and Changing Access to LANSA Objects for more details of this option.

487

487

A

Y allows exchange list capability in RPG / CL / COBOL etc programs so that values can be returned from LANSA to these programs (using EXCHANGE).
Values can be put on the LANSA exchange list from RPG / CL / COBOL etc programs. Refer to the EXCHANGE command in the Technical Reference Guide for more details.
Recompilation is necessary for changes to this setting to take effect.

N is the default.

488

489

2

A

Comparison year for determining the century to be used. Six and four character dates have their year portion compared against this value so that the correct century will be used.

490

491

2

A

Century to use if the year is less than or equal to the comparison year value.

492

493

2

A

Century to use if the year is greater than the comparison year value.

494

494

1

A

Decimal format for LANSA. This should relate to the IBM i system value QDECFMT. If QDECFMT = " " (blank) then the LANSA decimal format will = "." or If QDECFMT = "I" or "J" then the LANSA decimal format will = ",".

"."- LANSA decimal format is a full stop.

","- LANSA decimal format is a comma.

Other - LANSA decimal format is defaulted to a full stop.

WARNING: If the value of this field does not relate to the value of QDECFMT then UNPREDICTABLE results could occur with the use of numeric values.

495

495

1

A

Controls suppression of the "Process will run in interpretive mode, compiled version not usable" message. This message is displayed as a warning when a process has been selected for use, informing the user that a "new" compiled version of a Process should be created.

Y- do not display warning message.
N - display warning message is the default.

496

496

1

A

Indicates that end user process and function level security is disabled in this system. This setting will improve system performance, because no security checking is performed before accessing end user applications. This flag has no effect on access to process or function definition details in a development environment. This setting is appropriate for installations that use an external menu system to control and secure access to LANSA applications. Additional security checking within the LANSA application is a waste of resource and may mean "double updating" of end user access rights. The setting of this flag is interpreted dynamically by all applications that have been recompiled since the installation of program change 4.0/D3.

"Y"- process and function level security is disabled.

Other - process and function level security is enabled.

497

497

1

A

Indicates that end user file level security is disabled in this system. This setting will improve system performance, because no file level security checking is performed in end user applications. This flag has no effect on access to file definition details in a development environment. This setting is appropriate for installations that use the approach "if the program is accessible from your menu .... then you can access all the files the program requires". The setting of this flag is interpreted dynamically by all applications that have been recompiled since the installation of program change 4.0/D3.

"Y"- file level security is disabled.

Other - file level security is enabled.

498

498

1

A

Indicates whether a user defined prompt key message handler program should be called in preference to the LANSA prompt key message handler, when the prompt key function key has been selected. If this value has been set to "Y", a user defined prompt key message handler program name must be specified in the extended information data area DC@A07, please refer to the section on the 'extended information data area DC@A07' for more information.

"Y"- call user defined prompt key message handler program.

Other - call the LANSA prompt key message handler program.

499

499

1

A

EXCHANGE all fields from one function to another on a prompt request.

"Y"- EXCHANGE all other fields used by a function as will fit into the space left in the exchange list.

Other - Do not include all other fields used by a function in the exchange list.
