Creating Panel Design Files:

Toolkit panel designs are stored in a special database file format. Additional files of the correct type to contain panel designs can be created using the Toolkit command Create Design File (YCRTDSNF), for example:

YCRTDSNF TYPE(*PNL) FILE(QGPL/YDSNPNL)
TEXT(‘Panel designs for my system.’)

You may have different sets of panel designs in different members in the design file. The Toolkit command Add Design File Member (YADDDSNFM) is provided to give you an easy method of adding additional members to design files. For example, to add a new member to panel design file YDSNPNL in library QGPL:

YADDDSNFM TYPE(*PNL) FILE(QGPL/YDSNPNL) MBR(EXTRA) TEXT(‘More panels’)
