OLM Statement Parameters

DATa field character is

Identifies the keyboard character used to show the location and length of each variable field on the OLM Format and Map Image screens.

C'data-field-character'

Specifies the data field character as a character literal.

X'hex-data-field-character'

Specifies the data field character as a hexadecimal literal. The default is X'6D', the underscore (_) character.

DELimit character is

Identifies the keyboard character used to mark the end of a delimited variable field on the OLM Format screen.

C'delimit-character'

Specifies the delimit character as a character literal.

X'hex-delimit-character'

Specifies the delimit character as a hexadecimal literal. The default is X'1C' (the DUP character).

FIEld SELect character is

Identifies the keyboard character used to select a map field on the OLM Format screen for editing or deletion.

C'field-select-character'

Specifies the field select character as a character literal.

X'hex-field-select-character'

Specifies the field select character as a hexadecimal literal. The default is X'6C', the percent (%) sign.

FIEld STArt character is

Identifies the keyboard character used to mark the beginning of a map field on the OLM Format screen.

C'field-start-character'

Specifies the field start character as a character literal.

X'hex-field-start-character'

Specifies the field start character as a hexadecimal literal. The default is X'1E' (the FIELD MARK key).

UCFTSO environment: In TSO, use of the default field start character of X'1E' (FIELD MARK) will cause display problems when using the online mapping compiler (MAPC task code). Choose another value for the field start character in this environment.

HELP PFKEY is PF1/PFnn

Specifies the default program function key to be associated with the help function during runtime mapping sessions.

Nn is an integer in the range 1 through 24.

PF1 is the default.

NUMeric field DECimal-point is

Establishes the character to be interpreted as the decimal point for numeric data fields at runtime.

Note: Map developers must enter external pictures with the appropriate decimal character when defining numeric map data fields.

COMma

Specifies the comma is interpreted as the decimal point during field processing, in accordance with international format. Numeric data is displayed, for example, as 1.234,56 rather than 1,234.56 and must be entered in international format.

PERiod

Specifies the period is interpreted as the decimal point during field processing.

PERIOD is the default when you omit the NUMERIC FIELD DECIMAL-POINT parameter from the OLM statement.

NUMeric field ORDer is

Establishes international editing options for numeric map data fields at runtime.

STAndard

Specifies that runtime mapping will not reverse the data contained in a numeric data field.

STANDARD is the default when you omit the NUMERIC FIELD ORDER parameter from the OLM statement.

REVersed

Specifies that runtime mapping will reverse all data contained in a numeric data field at both mapout and mapin. This option might be used, for example, in Hebrew-language applications, where textual information is read from right to left.

Note: If you specify ORDER IS REVERSED, IBM®-supplied 3276 and 3278 device modifications must be installed. With these modifications, the cursor will move from left to right in numeric fields and from right to left in alphanumeric fields.

NEW COPY is

Specifies whether a map is to be marked as new copy automatically when the map load module is generated.

YES

Indicates the map is marked as new copy automatically.

NO

Indicates the map is not marked as new copy automatically. The user must issue a DCMT VARY PROGRAM NEW COPY statement for the map to make the load module eligible for loading.

NO is the default when you omit the NEW COPY parameter from the OLM statement.

PAGe BACkward pfkey is PFn

Specifies the default program function key (PF key) associated with the paging backward function during runtime paging sessions.

N must be a valid PF-key number in the range 1 through 24. The default is 7.

PAGe FORward pfkey is PFn

Specifies the default program function key (PF key) to be associated with the paging forward function during runtime paging sessions. N must be a valid PF-key number in the range 1 through 24. The default is 8.

PAGing STOrage is paging-storage-size

Specifies the maximum amount of storage, in 1K bytes, to be made available in the scratch area (DDLDCSCR) of the data dictionary to maintain a paging session at map runtime. At runtime, the system loads paging storage with the header, footer, and detail occurrences to be displayed on the map.

Paging-storage-size must be an integer in the range 0 through 32,767. The default is 10.

QUEue RETention is queue-retention-period

Specifies the amount of time, in days, the system is to retain the records from a suspended OLM map-definition session in the queue area. When the queue retention period is exceeded, the queue record is deleted automatically at system startup.

Queue-retention-period must be an integer in the range 0 through 255. The default, 255, directs the system not to delete the queue based on a retention period.

TRAnslate character is translate-character

Assigns a translation character to mask bad data into a displayable character.

Translate-character must be a character literal. The default is C'@'.

The translation character must be displayable. If you specify either C' ' (blank) or C'' (null), the translation is bypassed at program execution.
