Modifying Function Options › Identifying Standard Header/Footer Function Options › Design and Usage Considerations

Design and Usage Considerations

Following are points to consider if you want to customize or change the way CA 2E assigns standard header/footers for your functions.

• A standard header/footer function can be an action bar, a window, or neither. It cannot be both an action bar and a window.
• To create a standard header/footer function with neither an action bar nor a window, set both the following function options to N.
  • Is this an Action Bar
  • Is this a Window
• There can be only one default standard header/footer function for each header/footer type. In other words,
  • Only one standard header/footer function can have the Use as default for functions option set to v.
  • Only one standard header/footer function can have the Is this an Action Bar option set to D.
  • Only one standard header/footer function can have the Is this a Window option set to D.

  If you set a new standard header/footer to be a default, CA 2E automatically resets the corresponding function option for the previous default header/footer function so it is no longer the default.

• All existing functions that have implicitly- selected header/footers are always assigned to the default header/footer. If you modify the default header/footer, CA 2E immediately reassigns the implicitly-selected header/footers. This also occurs if you change the YSAAFMT model value and may occur if you change the YWSNGEN model value or the Workstation Implementation function option for a function. See the examples at the end of this topic.

  To prevent this, you can explicitly select the same or another standard header/footer for any function using the Edit Function Options panel.
