General Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when customizing panels:

1. Some panels contain words that are literals and vocabulary terms also. If a word is a vocabulary term (command or query keyword), literal, and used on panels DQD30 and DQD40, you must customize all three words using the same customization. See the chart in Customizing Literals for a complete list.
2. Do not use special characters or embedded blanks in your customization of these words.
3. Do not change two different vocabulary terms or literal words using the same word or term.
4. If a field is a repeating character, change that character one time and all others are changed automatically. You can identify the repeating fields when CA Dataquery displays the panel in unprotected format. All changeable information appears in red on a color terminal, or is highlighted on a monochrome terminal. If a character is a repeating character, only the first occurrence appears in red or is highlighted and all others remain in blue on a color terminal or not highlighted on a monochrome terminal.
