Select z/OS Screen Generator Options

The Enhanced Screen Generator is the default for all block mode applications when z/OS is the target platform. The Enhanced Screen Generator is not available for other target platforms.

You can use the previous version of the screen generator by setting the environment variable TIMAPGEN to 1. You can set it in a command file, a shell script, or a batch file that starts CA Gen. For more information about setting environment variables, see the operating system documentation.

When the TIMAPGEN variable is defined in the same session that starts CA Gen, the definition is local to that session and all its child sessions. The definition is not local to other sessions on the system. It is possible to have more than one version of CA Gen, each with a different environment variable.
