About Panel Services
The Panel Services facility lets you design and implement your own full-screen display formats. Using this facility, you can create NCL procedures for communicating with terminals using full-screen displays, referred to as panels. These panels enable NCL processes to display output data for you, and can be designed with input fields for communicating back to these NCL processes:
- Panel Services can be used by NCL processes executing in any NCL environment associated with a display window.
- Panel Services is supported by an online editor which can be used to create and modify panels.
- Panels can be defined to take advantage of such 3270 features as light-pen and cursor selection. Full-color and extended highlighting support is available on the appropriate terminals.
- Internal editing and validation can be selected for individual input fields to minimize the validation required within NCL procedures.
