The OCS panel has two distinct activity areas: a one-line command input area at the bottom of the window, and an output message display area called the roll delete area, which occupies the remaining space above the command line.
The command line is the bottom line of the OCS window. The command line is the only display field where input is permitted. The cursor is automatically positioned to the right of the command line prompt when the panel is first displayed. To enter a command, position the cursor in the command line and press Enter.
A mode indicator may appear to the left of your command entry area to indicate how the OCS window is currently operating. Values of the operating mode indicators and their meanings are as follows:
Terminal has monitor status and receives monitor messages.
An NCL procedure has paused awaiting the entry of a GO, END, or FLUSH command. The SHOW NCL command gives you further details.
An NCL procedure is waiting for specific text to arrive. The SHOW NCL command gives you further details.
When you receive messages as the result of commands entered on the command line, they are reported in the roll delete area with any unsolicited information you are profiled to receive.
Output to the roll delete area is written line-by-line from top to bottom of the screen. When the display area is full, new output messages wrap back to the top of the screen, overwriting the oldest displayed messages first.
Any messages requiring a reply are delivered as non-roll delete messages. This means that the messages stay on your screen until you respond. These messages are displayed at the top of an OCS window above the roll delete area. The non-roll delete area is created only when a non-roll delete message is delivered to your OCS window.
Messages are written from top to bottom of the screen. The next line for use is filled by a line of underscore (_) characters. This line is called the roll-delimiter line. It separates the oldest and newest output displayed. Output below this line is the oldest display information; output above the line is the most recent.
Note: The underscore characters used for this line can be changed using the PROFILE DELCHAR command.
The top of the roll delete display area is reserved for a title that can be set or reset by using the TITLE command.
The top left of the title line includes the present system time in hh.mm format and is automatically updated each time anything is written to the OCS window.
