Define Logical Views

If you have master authority, the Define View facility allows you to create and maintain public and global logical view definitions. Logical view definitions customize the way the product displays SYSOUT or a report by allowing you to manipulate the columns of a report, define column headings, assign colors to those columns or headings, and alternate colors throughout a report to make the report more readable. Also, logical view definitions define the criteria to extract index data from the SYSOUT or report.

The Define View facility provides added flexibility over the VIEW command in browse mode by allowing you to predefine logical view definitions and create global logical view definitions.

Global logical view definitions allow a single logical view definition to be used across many reports. These global logical view definitions are denoted by an asterisk (*) suffix on the SYSOUT ID.
