Screen Format

In full-screen mode, the online DDDL compiler uses a standard screen that has:

• A preformatted top line
• An unformatted input/output area

Top Line

The top line of the screen contains the following areas (areas are numbered in the sample screen above):

1. Command area—:ih1.command area Provides twenty spaces in columns 2 through 21 for entering commands to manipulate the work file and to communicate with the DDDL compiler; these commands are listed under Top-line Commands later in this chapter; they are described in detail in CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide.
2. Name area—Displays the name of the compiler and the release number.
3. Message area—Displays one of the following, as appropriate: the work-file page and line number; the literal NO ERRORS; the number of error messages issued for the compile; or a message describing the status of a top-line command.
4. Dictionary area—Displays either the name of the current dictionary (if other than the default) or the literal BLK, which signifies use of a line command.
5. Line number area—Displays one of the following, as appropriate: the literal EMPTY or the top (current) line of the screen I/O area, followed by the total number of lines (last line) in the work file.

Input/output Area

Below the screen's top line, the input/output area covers the remainder of the screen. The online DDDL compiler uses a line length of 79 regardless of the terminal width; however, the number of lines displayed varies based on the type of terminal in use.
