Making a Panel Definition Current

Once a panel definition is current, you can omit the panel name from subsequent commands that deal with that panel definition. A panel definition becomes current when it is named in any command or in a Panel Identification fill‑in. For example, when you create a new panel definition with either a CREATE or DUPLICATE command, that panel definition becomes the current panel definition.

A panel definition remains current until the session ends, a facility of CA Ideal other than panel definition is used, or a different panel definition is accessed or created. For example, if, after entering the CREATE command and filling out the Panel Identification fill‑in, you then enter the DISPLAY command for another panel definition, the displayed panel definition becomes the current definition.

Note: The current panel definition is identified in the status line of the screen.
