General Rules for Panel Layout

The following information identifies features common to all display styles.

The first two lines of the panel designs contain a title and a status information defined by an associated DFNSCRFMT function. When you create a new model, four layouts are provided automatically:

• CUA Entry standard
• CUA Text Subset—Action Bars
• CUA Text Subset—Windows

Lines twenty-three or twenty-two contain text explaining the meaning of any function keys. The format of this text depends on the value of the YSAAFMT model value, either CUA Entry or CUA Text.

Messages appear on line twenty-four. Message clearing and resending is controlled by the function options.

For more information about function options, see the chapter, "Modifying Function Options."
