Designing Interactive Panels (Panel Services) › Panel Control Statements

Panel Control Statements

Optional control statements can precede a panel to specify the particular requirements for that panel. These are:

#ALIAS

Defines alternative field names

#ERR

Defines the action to be taken for an error condition

#FLD

Defines or modifies a field character's attributes

#NOTE

Provides installation documentation (this is ignored during processing)

#OPT

Defines optional operational requirements

#TRAILER

Defines trailing lines for the panel

Control statements included within panel definitions must precede the displayable portion of the panel which is determined by the first line that is not a control statement. Control statements must start in column 1 of the lines on which they appear.

Note: You cannot include comments on the same line as a control statement (except #NOTE).
