Format Creation Example

The following example illustrates creation of a new panel format. At the beginning of CSECT ESFHFFLD, the 10 format-pointers all point to a label called ES0HFFLD. This effectively means that all formats (0-9) all use the panel layout described after label ES0HFFLD.To add a new format, for example, format 1, you must change the second pointer at the top of the CSECT to point to the new format; for example, ES1HFFLD. A new label ES1HFFLD must then be created, followed by the field definitions for the new format.
