Panel Field Descriptions

Action

Required. Length: 1-3. Type: alphabetic. Valid values:

CHG or C

Change (update) a Library Code.

INQ or I

Inquire (browse) a Library Code.

Old

Display only. CA‑PanAPT displays the name of the Library Code to which the row pertains.

New

Required for ADD and COP actions, otherwise must be blank. Length: 1‑7. Type: alphanumeric, @, $, and #.

Type the name of the new Library Code / subcode you want to create. For action ADD, it does not matter what row you use.

The Library Code is composed of two fields that are usually shown separated by a slash (/). The first field, the Code field, can contain up to four alphanumeric characters. The second field, the subcode, can contain up to three alphanumeric characters. You must enter at least one character in the Code field.

While any naming scheme can be used, CA-PanAPT makes it convenient to use the Code part to indicate the type of entity (for example, JCL, Source, Documentation) and to use the subcode to represent the application or development group associated with the entities.

Many CA-PanAPT models generate ddnames based on the concatenation of Library Code and subcode. That is, Library Code ABC/123 and Library Code ABC1/23 would both generate a ddname of ABC123.
