Design Cycle

Using the Display Panel Design facilities, the typical design cycle consists of the following steps:

• Use YWRKPNL to enter a panel design and narrative text.
• Use YDSPPNL with OPTION(*CHGDTA) to set up sample data for the panel design image.
• Use YWRKMNU (or write a CL program) to create a menu, specifying as a menu option YDSPPNL with OPTION(DSPDTA).

Present the design to the user by letting him display the menu and take the option. (Also provide a printed version prepared with the YDOCPNL and YDOCMNU commands.)

• Use YWRKPNL to revise the panel design to incorporate the user’s modifications.
• Use YCRTPNLDDS to generate DDS from the panel design.
