CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option Panel Features

The CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel appears when you access CA Endevor Quick Edit from ISPF. This one panel displays the most commonly used CA Endevor SCM features. All work in CA Endevor Quick Edit begins on this panel.

Example: CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel

A sample CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel is shown next:

You can enter the following Types of commands from the CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel:

Dialog Commands – These commands affect the dialog environment. You can change the default dialog defaults and action options that affect action processing. For more information see, Set Dialog Defaults and Change Action Options.

The following additional options are accessible from the CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel, but are not discussed in this guide:

Element Options – These commands let you perform an action on a CA Endevor SCM element or view the element, its components, or information about the element or its components.

The Location, Action Options, and List Options fields let you refine your Element Option requests as follows:

Location fields – The location fields specify the element name and inventory location of the element you want to select for an element command. You do not specify the Stage location, because the Stage is assumed to be Stage 1 or the entry stage defined in the C1DEFLTS table. This is the location at which CA Endevor Quick Edit begins the search for the element.

ENVIRONMENT

Specifies the Environment where CA Endevor Quick Edit begins searching for the element. This is the specified Environment. Enter a one- to eight-character Environment name, leave the field blank, or use a name mask. If you leave this field blank or use a name mask, an Environment Selection List is returned, and then you must select an Environment in order to continue.

SYSTEM

Specifies the System associated to the element. Enter a one- to eight-character System name, leave the field blank, or use a name mask. If you leave this field blank or use a name mask, selection lists appear as follows, depending on the setting of the List Options field DISPLAY ENV/SYS/SUBSYS LIST on this panel:

SUBSYSTEM

Specifies the Subsystem associated to the element. Enter a one- to eight-character Subsystem name, leave the field blank, or use a name mask. If you leave this field blank or use a name mask, selection lists appear as follows, depending on the setting of the List Options field DISPLAY ENV/SYS/SUBSYS LIST on this panel:

ELEMENT

Specifies the name of the element. Enter a one- to ten-character element name, leave the field blank, or use a name mask. An explicit element name is required for the Create option. If you leave the field blank or use a name mask, the Element Selection List is returned. You must select an element from this list in order to continue.

TYPE

Specifies the Type associated with the element. Enter a one- to eight-character element Type, leave the field blank, or use a name mask. If you leave this field blank or use a name mask, either the function you requested is performed (if there is only one element involved) or an Element Selection List is returned (if there is more than one element involved). A Type Selection List is returned only when you select the Create option.

Action Options fields – The Action Option fields define options that are specific to your action request.

Note: For action options that affect action processing, see Change Action Options.

CCID

Specifies the Change Control Identifier (CCID) associated with this request. Enter a 1- to 12-character value that conforms to CCID naming conventions. A System's definition may require that you specify a CCID for any element action against any element associated with that System. If a CCID is required at the System level and you do not enter a CCID, an Action Prompt panel will open where you can add the CCID.

Comment

Specifies the comment associated with this request. Enter a 1- to 40-character value that does not include embedded single quotation marks. A System's definition may require that you specify a comment for any element action against any element associated with that System. If a comment is required at the System level and you do not enter a comment, an Action Prompt panel will open where you can add the comment.

Processor Group

Specifies the Processor Group to be associated with the element. If you enter an explicit Processor Group name, that Processor Group must exist. If you use name masking, a Processor Group Selection List is returned. If you do not specify a Processor Group, CA Endevor SCM determines the appropriate Processor Group to be used.

Note: For more information about Processor Groups, see the Processor Groups in the chapter "Operating Information."

Override Signout

Specifies whether you want to edit or generate the element when it is signed out to a user other than yourself. Valid values:

Y – Override the current signout and allow access to the element. In a fetch situation (for Edit or Generate), when override signout is needed, the signout of the element that was fetched will not change to you even if SOFETCH=Y. However, the element will be signed out to you in the entry stage in which the element is put.

N – Do not override the current signout. This is the default.

Preserve VB record length

Specifies whether the ISPF editor will preserve the record length of the record in a variable length file, when the data is saved in an ISPF edit session. This option applies when the file is saved to its base data set in reverse delta format. Valid values:

Y— Preserve trailing spaces when saving variable length files.

N— Remove trailing spaces when saving variable length files.

List Options fields – The first three List Option fields limit the elements presented in the Element Edit Selection List. The last field in this section determines whether system and subsystem selection lists will be available. The list option fields are described next.

APPLY LIST FILTERS

If you set the list option Apply List Filters to Y, then the Apply List Filters panel opens and shows the following filter options:

Where CCID EQ

Specify a CCID to limit the list to those elements whose current, last action, generate, or retrieve CCID match the CCID specified here. You can use name masking in this field. You can further limit the list by eliminating matches for any of the following categories: current, last action, generate, or retrieve.

Where User ID

Specify a user ID to limit the list to those elements whose current, last action, generate, or retrieve user ID match the user ID specified here. You can use name masking in this field. You can further limit the list by eliminating matches for any of the following categories: current, last action, generate, or retrieve.

Where Processor Group EQ

Specify a processor group name to limit the list to those elements to which the specified processor group is assigned. You can use name masking in this field.

BUILD USING MAP

Specifies whether the environment map will be searched when building a list of elements. Values are:

Y—Search the map for all occurrences of the element. This is the default.

N—Do not search the map.

RETURN FIRST FOUND

Specifies whether searching the map will stop after the first occurrence of the element is found. Values are:

Y—Return the first matching element found. This is the default.

N—Search the map for all occurrences of matching elements and return a list.

DISPLAY ENV/SYS/SUBSYS LIST

Specifies whether the Environment, System, and Subsystem selection lists will appear when the Environment, System, or Subsystem fields do not contain explicit entries. Values are:

Y—Display the Environment, System and Subsystem selection lists.

N—Do not display the Environment, System, and Subsystem selection lists. This is the default.

Note: If you select the Create option, the Environment, System, and Subsystem Selection Lists are returned, even if this field is set to N.
