Dashboard Definition Syntax

The dashboard definition syntax has been enhanced to include new window processing options.

OPTIONS Statement

When the OPTIONS statement is found after a DEFINE WINDOWS statement, and before the first DEFINE PANE statement, the options apply to the window:

ADDBLANK - Adds a blank line to the end of each pane in the window which creates separation from the window that follows and can help improve the aesthetics of the dashboard.

Pane option INFO

The pane option INFO can now also be specified as INFO(s,e). The dashboard topic describes it as:

INFO, INFO(s,e) - Adds informational rows to the pane. By default they are not displayed.
The form INFO(s,e) can be used to display a subset of informational rows. 's' is the starting row number and 'e' is the ending row number. The parameters can also be specified as:
- INFO(s) - Displays informational rows 's' through the end of the rows.
- INFO(,e) - Displays informational rows 1 through 'e'.
