Displaying Help Text

You can display help text using the Toolkit command Display Help (YDSPHLP), or by calling the Help display program directly from another HLL program. For details, see the command diagram in the CA 2E Toolkit Reference Guide.

Each call to the help text display program names a single text member. From this member, you can display:

• All the text, starting at the beginning
• An index, which allows you to jump to the part of the text you are interested in
• Text relevant to the position of the cursor on the panel from which the help text was called
• Text relevant to the conditions under which the help text was called (for example, different text depending on whether you are adding or changing records)
