Setting the EasyRule Profile

User code areas are reserved spaces in a rule that was generated by EasyRule. Users are free to use ISPF edit to add or change REXX code in a user code area, but code outside these areas should only be changed by using EasyRule. The EasyRule Options screen allows you to choose whether to generate user code areas by default, as illustrated in the following example:

EasyRule Options --------------------------------------------------------------
Command ===>

Options
  Enter "S" to select option
  S  Include user code areas

Enter CANCEL to abort.
Enter END to confirm settings.

The Save panel provides three user code area controls, including Initialize, Terminate, and Mainline, which select whether their respective areas will be generated. Users are free to set these three controls manually, or to allow all three to default to the Screen 0.5 value.

EasyRule uses the profile setting each time you edit a new or existing rule. You can override the default, but each time you edit a rule, the default setting will again be applied, even if you have previously overridden it for the same rule.

Following is an illustration of the EasyRule Save screen. The profile setting affects the default answers for the Do you intend … lines.
