Description

Before a dialog can be executed, you must view the panels that a user executing the panels will see and decide whether they are what you intended. CA Dataquery wants you to try the dialog yourself before you make it available to others. When you press the VALIDATE <PF> key after defining the dialog, you see this prompt panel (EV0) that you use to test the dialog. More information is available on this subject in the CA Dataquery User Guide.

Action

Test the new dialog by entering all the values in a list, if one was defined for a character or alphabetic variable. Also, enter a variety of values for numeric values. Then <PF2> RETURN to return to the Editor panel. Look for a message saying that validation was successful.

Display Fields

Refer to the following for explanations of the display fields intended to contain variable data.

Description: A description of up to four lines written by the author describing the dialog/JCL PROC at the top of the screen.
Prompt 1: Following the description, a prompt written by the dialog or JCL PROC author, providing information about the following variable.
Default 1: Default variable entered on Editor panel. Additional prompts and variables can appear if defined by the author.
