Window Device Design

In this step you will edit a function that has a window for its default display file. When the design standard is set to CUA TEXT, CA 2E automatically creates all Select Record functions with a window defined for the display file. Recall that you specified *CUATEXT on the Create Model Library (YCRTMDLLIB) command when you created your model at the beginning of this tutorial.

The following steps in this tutorial illustrate how to use the Device Design Editor to modify the default window designs associated with the Select Record (SELRCD) function.

Modifying the default window design involves two basic steps. Both of these steps can be accomplished with the Device Design Editor.

1. Arrange the fields on the panel, hiding any that are unnecessary.
2. Adjust the window dimensions to surround the fields present on the device design.
