Access and Use the Help Example Panels

On most of the EasyRule standard help panels, you can see an example of a correctly filled-in panel, along with the OPS/REXX code that EasyRule would generate from those entries.

To access and use the help example panels

1. Enter E on a standard help panel.

   The example of a correctly filled-in help example panel appears:

   EasyRule ----- MESSAGE RULE - DESCRIPTOR CODE CONDITIONS EXAMPLE ----- Tutorial
   COMMAND ===>
   M E S S A G E   R U L E  -  D E S C R I P T O R   C O D E   C O N D I T I O N S
   Use S to select one or more of the following Descriptor Codes:
                                  S  SYSFAIL  (1)  (Hilite, non-scrollable)
                                     EVENACTN (2)  (Hilite only)
                                      ....
                                  S  DYNSTAT  (10)
                                     CRITEVET (11)
   Other Descriptor Code(s)               ===>
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     This example will generate the highlighted OPS/REXX statements:
     )PROC
      EASYRULEDESC = OPSBITS("SYSFAIL")
      EASYRULEDESC = BITOR(EASYRULEDESC,OPSBITS("DYNSTAT"))
      IF  (BITAND(MSG.DESC,EASYRULEDESC) = BITOR(EASYRULEDESC,"0000"X))
        THEN DO ...
   

   Help example panels group information into two sections:

   • The top half of the panel shows the EasyRule panel of which you wanted an example. The panel is filled in with a typical set of entries, which are highlighted.
   • The bottom half of the panel shows the OPS/REXX code that EasyRule would generate for the entries in the top half. If necessary, the bottom half also describes the entries.

   Note: Sometimes, due to space limitations, not all lines of generated code appear.

2. Take these actions on help example panels:
   • Press Enter.

     Returns you to the previous help panel.

   • Press PF3.

     Terminates your EasyRule help session.
