Device Design Formats

A function’s device design is created from a number of device design formats, each of which specifies part of the device design. Each format is created from the fields of the based-on access path and their associated text. Each format has:

• Device file format details—For each format, you specify format level information, for instance, descriptive text and information as to how to position the format relative to the other formats on the design. In the case of report design formats, overflow criteria are specified. CA 2E supplies appropriate defaults for this information.
• Device file format entries—The format entries constitute a list of all the fields that appear in that format on the display panel along with information on how these fields are to appear. Fields are positioned by default on the display in the order in which their entries appear on the access path. You can change the order of entries, the positioning, and remove or add entries.
