Using Advanced Services › Change Your Application Characteristics

Change Your Application Characteristics

You can establish temporary values for your application characteristics by issuing the /E command as a line command on the TPX Menu. Your administrator may limit which characteristics you can change with this command. (You can make permanent changes through self-maintenance. For more information, see the chapter Performing User Self-Maintenance.)

To define temporary application characteristics

1. Go to the TPX Menu.

   (For instructions, see Returning to the TPX Menu from an Active Session in the chapter Starting and Switching Sessions.)

2. Use the Tab or Return key to move the cursor to the application whose characteristics you want to change.
3. Type E. In the following example, the session T8 has been selected.

          Sessid      Sesskey      Session Description          Status
        - TPXADMIN    PF5          TPX Administration
        - TPXNOTES    PF7          TPX Scratchpad
        - TPXMAIL     PF8          TPX Mailbox System
        - WINDOWS     PF9          TPX Windows
        E T8          PF6          TSO/E - z/OS SYS8
        - R20         PF10         CA-Remote Console SYS8
        - T12         PF11         TSO/E - SYS12
   

4. Press Enter.

   The Session Temporary Overrides panel is displayed:

5. Move the cursor to a field you want to change using the Tab or Return key.
6. Type the new value for the field over the old value, or press the EOF key to erase the contents of the field and then type the new value.
7. Press PF3.

The software establishes the values you specified and returns you to the TPX Menu. The temporary definitions remain valid until you sign off.
