Default for enable prompt key on screen commands
Position 477 in data area DC@A01.
If this value is set to "Y", the PROMPT_KEY parameter on DISPLAY, REQUEST and POP_UP RDML commands will be enabled by default. If set to "N" the prompt key is disabled by default. The default may be specifically changed for individual commands in your RDML code.
LANSA decimal point format
Position 494 in data area DC@A01.
This should relate to the IBM i system value QDECFMT. If QDECFMT = " " (blank) then the LANSA decimal format will = "." (full stop). If QDECFMT = "I" or "J" then the LANSA decimal format will = "," (comma).
Values:
"."- 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.
Show a leading zero
Setting *LEADZERO=1 in data area DC@OSVEROP.
Setting this value to "Y" indicates that Visual LANSA code will display numeric values containing decimals with a leading zero. For example 0.12 or 0,12 depending on the LANSA decimal point format. This option would be suitable when QDECFMT="J".
Popup window to use AS400 window facility
Setting *V2WINDOWS in data area DC@OSVEROP.
Setting this value to "Y" indicates that pop-up windows created by LANSA should use the IBM i windowing facilities. The use of the option is recommended on all IBM i systems.
Popup window to trim second function key line
Setting *WINDOWTRIM in data area DC@OSVEROP.
Setting this value to "Y" indicates that an existing LANSA defined pop-up window has the 2nd function key line trimmed from the display.
Only use this option in conjunction with the *V2WINDOWS option to enable existing functions that have been specifically sized onto line 24 of the display device to recompile without change.
Use default STD_HEAD parameters
Position 421 in data area DC@A01.
This value specifies the system default for the STD_HEAD parameter on screen commands.
STD_HEAD parameter on screen commands specifies whether or not the standard LANSA design for the screen heading lines (lines 1 and 2) should be used.
Printer form width default
Positions 149 - 151 in data area DC@A01.
This value specifies the default printer form width. Typically 132.
Printer form length default
Positions 412 - 414 in data area DC@A01.
This value specifies the default printer form length (RPG limit). Typically 66.
Printer overflow line default
Positions 415 - 417 in data area DC@A01.
This value specifies the default printer form overflow line (RPG limit). Typically 60.
Vertical bar character
Position 484 in data area DC@A01.
This value specifies the 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 option may not be suitable for some national language sets and should be changed.
Horizontal bar character
Position 485 in data area DC@A01.
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 option may not be suitable for some national language sets and should be changed.
Field label fill character
Position 463 in data area DC@A01.
If specified, this value is used as the fill character for field labels which are automatically created. Field labels are automatically created if a field is created or changed and the Label is left blank.
Note: Recompilation is necessary for changes to this setting to take effect.
Field column heading underline character
Position 464 in data area DC@A01.
If specified, this value is used as the underline character for field column headings which are automatically created. Field column headings are automatically created if a field is created or changed and the Column Headings are left blank.
Note: Recompilation is necessary for changes to this setting to take effect.
Hex code for 132 width workstations
Positions 441 - 460 in data area DC@A01.
These values are shown and may be entered as the hex digits. Eg a value of 40 is the hex for blank.
This is only used by the report painter to aid the user design report layouts. Refer to the appropriate IBM manual for list of codes.
Hex code for color workstations
Positions 465 - 474 in data area DC@A01.
These values are shown and may be entered as the hex digits. Eg a value of 40 is the hex for blank.
This is a list of display device codes which are color workstations. This list is used by LANSA at execution time to determine if the workstation being used is capable of displaying information in color. Refer to IBM documentation to determine the codes for workstations.
