Prompter Panels

A prompter panel contains the proper command syntax for the selected function. It displays both the long and abbreviated command syntax. Prompter panels assist new users unfamiliar with the CA Datacom Datadictionary commands or a user unsure of the proper syntax.

On a prompter panel, you supply the variable information about the entity-occurrence. The required entries are highlighted.

=> => => ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATADICTIONARY Security Maintenance T40F UPDATE PROFILE ________________________________ UPD PROF (name) ENTITY ________________________________ ENT (type)

After filling in all required fields and any desired optional fields on a prompter panel, submit the command to CA Datacom Datadictionary by either pressing the Enter key or entering the APPLY command, depending on the function performed by the prompter panel.

You can enter the APPLY command by typing APPLY, or APP, on a command line and pressing Enter, or by pressing PF9. For more information, see Using Command Processing and Using PF and PA Keys. CA Datacom Datadictionary responds with the next logical panel for the function, a message confirming successful completion of the function, or an error message.
