5.1.1.2 CA MICS Global Parameters for ISPF Applications


The following CA MICS global parameters for ISPF applications
are of particular importance to users of MICF:

o  Installation name. The installation name specified in the
   CA MICS Administrator Parameters is the default that MICF
   supplies for the second title line of inquiry output.
   This name is copied by MICF from the entry after the
   prompt, "CA MICS complex name: Title (or name) for
   reports."

o  DSPRINT services. If your installation uses DSPRINT
   facilities and your MICF users will be using the Print
   Output to Local 3270 Printer option of the Print Inquiry
   Output panels, you must specify the TSO command that is
   used to invoke DSPRINT services at your data center (for
   example, DSPRINT or ADMPRINT).  Specify this command
   following the prompt, "DSPRINT services parameters:
   DSPRINT command name."

o  DSPRINT device. If your data center uses DSPRINT services,
   the initial MICF shared default DSPRINT device will be the
   same as the device specified after the prompt, "DSPRINT
   device."  Changes to the DSPRINT device parameter will NOT
   have any effect on MICF after MICF is initially activated.
   To change the shared default DSPRINT device for MICF,
   select the User Profile Parameters option on the Shared
   MICF Options menu.

o  Data entry pad character. The data entry pad character is
   the character used to fill blank data entry fields on
   panels.  In the examples in the MICF tutorials, the pad
   character is an underscore.  Specify the pad character
   after the prompt, "Fill blank fields with the following
   character."

o  Skip ON or OFF. This parameter determines whether the
   cursor will automatically skip to the next data entry
   field when it leaves the current data entry field.  To
   cause automatic skips specify YES after the prompt,
   "Automatically move cursor to next field." Otherwise
   specify NO.
