Line Commands for the Rule List Panel

Use the following line commands on the Rule List panel. Issue line commands in the prefix area preceding the desired rule.

A

Sets the auto-enable flag of the rule to Y. If you use the Rule Set List panel to enable the rule set to which this rule belongs, this rule is enabled. Contrast this command with the Z line command.

C

Compiles the rule into the compiled rule data set.

D

Disables a rule that was previously enabled.

E

Enables a rule so that you can test it. If a rule contains syntax errors, the E command fails.

R

Invokes EasyRule processing for the rule. You can use the R command for a rule only if you used EasyRule to create the rule and you have not used the S line command to edit the rule.

S

Selects the rule for ISPF editing. The panel you see when you issue the S command is similar to an ISPF edit session of the rule. You may notice slight modifications to the panel that appear to remind you that you are in the AOF edit option. You can use the ISPF HELP command when you are in the editing session.

T

Displays the AOF Test panel. For details about testing rules, see Step 3: Enter the Test Environment in this chapter.

V

Selects a rule to view (read-only).

X

Deletes the rule from the compiled rule data set.

Z

Sets the auto-enable flag of the rule to N. Even if you use the Rule Set List panel to enable the rule set to which this rule belongs, this rule will not be enabled. Contrast this command with the A line command.

Point-and-shoot is enabled to issue the S line command for any displayed Rule. To issue the S line command for a displayed Rule using the point-and-shoot method, place the cursor to the left of the RuleName and press Enter. Point-and-shoot is enabled only if no primary or line commands have been entered.

Note: When a rule is selected for EDIT, through either the S primary command or the S line command, and the rule is in EasyRule format, the following warning message is issued:

****  W A R N I N G ***** 
You are about to edit an AOF rule that is in EasyRule format. 
If you change the member you will not be able to use
EasyRule to edit it in the future.
