Field Information

This screen lists each field on the monitor screen being edited and provides the following information for each field:

The display sequence number of the field, moving across the screen from left to right (Field Order)
The internal field number (Field Number)
The field name (Field Name)
An indication of whether the field must be displayed or can be scrolled out of view (Required Field)
An indication of whether the field is visible (Displayable Field)

Changing Information

To change the order of a field or whether it is to be displayed, enter this information:

Field	Information to enter
Command	1. m (move) in the row of the field whose display order you want to change 2. a (after) or b (before) in the row of the field after which or before which the field is to be moved. If necessary, scroll up or down to display all the fields before typing the commands.
Required Field	y (yes) to specify that the field must remain on the screen during scrolling operations; n (no) to specify that the field can be scrolled off the screen. If Required Field is Y (yes), Displayable Field must be Y (yes).
Displayable Field	y (yes) to specify that the field must be displayed n (no) to specify that the field is hidden and is not displayed. For example, to specify a wide window, you may want to mark fields in which you have no interest with N so that all remaining fields can fit on the screen at one time.

Field

Information to enter

Command

1. m (move) in the row of the field whose display order you want to change

2. a (after) or b (before) in the row of the field after which or before which the field is to be moved.

If necessary, scroll up or down to display all the fields before typing the commands.

Required Field

y (yes) to specify that the field must remain on the screen during scrolling operations;
n (no) to specify that the field can be scrolled off the screen.

If Required Field is Y (yes), Displayable Field must be Y (yes).

Displayable Field

y (yes) to specify that the field must be displayed
n (no) to specify that the field is hidden and is not displayed.

For example, to specify a wide window, you may want to mark fields in which you have no interest with N so that all remaining fields can fit on the screen at one time.

Ending a Screen-Editing Session

When you are through using the Edit Window Format screen, do one of the following:

Press [PF3].
Type exit following the CMD--> prompt, then press [Enter]. The window for the Edit Window Format screen must be current when you do this.
Type x in the window command field of the window for the Edit Window Format screen, then press [Enter].

Performance Monitor displays the original monitor screen. All editing changes are reflected in the display.

Saving an Edited Screen Format

You can save an edited screen format for use during subsequent Performance Monitor sessions:

To save the changes for the current window, type save following the CMD--> prompt, then press [Enter].
To save changes for multiple windows or for a window that is not current, use the WINDOW command with the SAVE command. For example, to save changes for screens in windows 02, 03, and 05, issue the following command:
```
window 2 3 5 save
```

Required Authority for SAVE

You must have SITE SAVE or USER SAVE authority to use the SAVE command:

SITE SAVE authority enables you to save version 1 of a load module in the data dictionary's load area. This module is used by Performance Monitor users who do not specify a test version.
USER SAVE authority enables you to save load modules that use any version other than version 1. The load modules are saved in the data dictionary's load area. These modules are used by users who specify that test version number using the DCUF TEST command.

Note: For more information about the use of the SAVE command, see Performance Monitor Processing Options.

Example of Changing Screen Width

The Storage Pool Detail screen below is 80 columns wide. To change the screen width, type edit following the CMD--> prompt, then press [Enter]:

PM-Rnn.n SYSTEM71 CA, Inc. V71 08.348 13:45:21.56 CMD--> edit Window : 02 Refresh: 10 02 Storage Pool Detail > Pool Total Storage High SOS SOS Cushn Pages Release Pages Pfix ID Storage In_Use Water Count Now Size Released Count Pfixed Count 0 1476kB 620kB 704kB 53248 1536 933 1 500kB 32768 98304 12288 982 936 200 256kB 73728 81920 4096 255 251

Performance Monitor displays the Edit Window Format screen in the window area.

Change the column width of the window from 80 to 40 columns:

PM-Rnn.n SYSTEM71 CA, Inc. V71 08.348 13:45:52.82 CMD--> Window : 02 Refresh: 10 02 EDIT Window Format - PF6 for Window Fields Storage Pool Detail Map Name: PMRTMSTO Date Generated: 06/06/00 Time Generated: 12:54 Map Type: VARIABLE/COLUMN Current Window Size: 5 x 40 FIXED SIZE Minimum Window Size: 3 x 40 THAWED Number of Fields in Map: 16 Number of Data Lines: 3

To return the Storage Pool Detail screen, press [PF3]. The screen now looks like this:

PM Rnn.n SYSTEM71 CA, Inc. V71 08.348 13:45:58.83 CMD--> Window : 02 Refresh: 10 02 Storage Pool Detail > Pool Total Storage High SOS SOS ID Storage In_Use Water Count Now 0 1476kB 620kB 704kB 1 500kB 32768 98304 200 256kB 73728 81920

You might edit another monitor screen to be 40 columns wide. If you do, Performance Monitor displays the two screens side by side:

PM-Rnn.n SYSTEM71 CA, Inc.
