YABRNPT

The YABRNPT value is only for NPT generation, and enables you to choose between creations of Action Bars or DDS Menu Bars for a given function. The default is DDS Menu Bars for models created as of r5.0 of COOL:2E. For existing models upgraded to r5.0, the default is Action Bars.

We recommend that you migrate to DDS Menu Bars over time since DDS Menu Bars make use of the new OS/400 ENPTUI features, which allow the menu bars to be coded in the DDS for the display file. The Action Bars require that an external program be called to process the action bar. As a result, the DDS Menu Bars are faster, have more functionality, and create more efficient functions.

For more information about NPT user interface options, see ENPTUI in the chapter "Modifying Device Designs."
