Create a Status Monitor Display Format

To define status monitor display formats

1. Enter /ASADMIN.L at the prompt.

   The List Definition List appears.

2. Press F4 (Add).

   The List Description panel appears.

   Note: You can also use the C action code to open a copy of an existing display format definition that you can modify.

3. Complete the following fields:

   Appl ID

   Specifies the ID of the application to which the list belongs. Ensure that the value is $RM.

   List Type

   Specifies the type of list. Ensure that the value is PRIVATE.

   Userid

   Specifies the name of the view. If you are building a format for a view that supports multi-column displays, append a number (from 1 to 5) to COLUMNS to identify the display for which the format is created (for example, COLUMNS1 for a 1-column display). (COLUMNSn is the user that owns the format.)

   List Name

   Specifies the name of the format.

   Description

   Describes the format.

   Service Procedure

   Specifies the name of an NCL procedure to execute when displaying a list using this definition. Enter NONE.

   Entry Msg Position

   Specifies the column in which extended display starts.

   Entry Msg Length

   Specifies the width of the extended display as follows:

   • If you want the extended display to be of a specific width, specify the width in columns.
   • If you want to allow the width to extend to the end of the screen, leave the field blank.
   • If you do not want to show the extended display, specify 0.

   Note: Do not change the value of the other fields.

   Press F8 (Forward) three times.

   The List Format panel appears. The panel provides a text editor window.

4. By using the text editor, enter column headings and variables to specify the information to display on the status monitor.
5. Press F3 (File).

   The format is created.
