Specify the Status Monitor Display Format

Specify the status monitor display format on the List Format panel.

The following list gives the widths for the five different column displays:

Each column contains five extra positions at the beginning to allow for the command input field. For example, for a one-column display, the width of the format is 75 characters, representing positions 6 through 80 of the status monitor.

For each type of information you want to display on the status monitor, specify a static heading and a variable that contains the required information.

To specify the status monitor display format

1. From the List Format panel, specify the headings. A heading can be up to ten lines. These lines are known as heading lines.
2. Specify the corresponding variables beneath the heading lines. Specify the variables in a single line, known as an entry line.

   If the name of a variable is longer than the data to be displayed, create a shorter alias for the name.
