Description
This screen is used to format the map. If the Autopaint feature has been used, the layout is automatically displayed. Otherwise, the screen will be blank.
Effects of Screen Size on Map Design
Developing or modifying a map on a device that is larger than the smallest screen size specified on the first page of the General Options screen, can present certain problems.
If you try to define a field on the Layout screen outside of the boundaries of the smallest device specifications size, the Mapping facility indicates the error by discarding the misplaced fields and echoing the Layout screen. When the errors are corrected, you can proceed through the map-definition sequence.
For example, a map that is to be displayed on a 24X80 screen size can be modified on a 32X80 terminal. However, if you try to establish any fields in rows 25 through 32, the online compiler discards these fields and echo the Layout screen.
How to Change the Map
If you want to rearrange the fields or alter them in any way, press <F11> to display the alternate keys. The alternate keys are used to maneuver the fields.
Note: For more information about what function each alternate key performs, see "Using the Function Keys."
Sample Screen
EMP-ID-0415 ____ EMP-FIRST-NAME-0415 _________________________ EMP-LAST-NAME-0415 _________________________ EMP-STREET-0415 ______________________________________________ EMP-CITY-0415 _________________________ EMP-STATE-0415 _________________________ EMP-ZIP-0415 _________________________ SS-NUMBER-0415 _________ DEPT-ID-0410 ____ ...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8 Enter F1=Help F2=Select F3=Exit F4=Prev F5=Next F6=Preview F8=Bottom F9=SetCursor F10=Deselect F11=AltKeys Drop all selected fields: _
To Delete All Selected Fields
Position the cursor at the beginning of the field to be marked for deletion. Press <PF2> and move the cursor to the end of the section to be marked. Press <PF2> and all the fields within the section of the same type as the first selected field, that is, data or literal, are marked. Or you can type the field select character over each attribute byte of each field to be selected.
Enter any non-blank character into a new field on the last line. You are warned that all selected fields will be deleted unless the drop field is cleared or a key other than <Enter> is pressed.
If you want to manipulate the fields, press <F11> and the screen is displayed with the Alternate Function keys, as shown:
...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8 F1=Help F2=Mark F3=Copy F4=Move F5=Delete F6=Preview F8=Bottom F9=Propagate F10=ClrMark F11=MainKeys Subscript increment: 1
To Propagate a Field
From the Alternate Function keys screen, put the cursor under any data or literal field and press <F9>. The field above the cursor is copied onto each lower line until it is copied to the cursor's line, until a field that would overlap a copied field is encountered, or until the maximum subscript is reached.
If the field to be propagated is an occurring data field and its subscript is to be incremented by a number other than 1, you must enter the subscript increment into a new field on the last line before pressing <F9>.
