ATTR Keyword with the FDT—FDT Field Attributes

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the ATTR keyword to add or replace attributes to a field in the FDT Record.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(FDT) FDTNAME(field name) 
               FDTCODE(hex code)
               MAXLEN(40)
               ATTR(MIXED,NONDISP,NOXTRPRP,XTRPRP,attribute)
MIXED

Allows display of mixed-case data for a field in the FDT Record. If ATTR(MIXED) is not given, the information is added to the user in uppercase.

NONDISP

Prohibits display of a field when an administrator issues a TSS LIST command on the ACID. The data can be extracted or modified using the Application Interface or the RACROUTE macro, but it does not display using TSS LIST.

NOXTRPRP

Prohibits successful extract/replace call results for the field from being sent to the recovery file and propagated to other systems. You can change this attribute via a “TSS REPLACE” command for user-defined fields in the FDT and pre-defined fields in the FDT where CA did not already include this attribute.

XTRPRP

Allows successful extract/replace call results for the field to be sent to the recovery file and propagated to other systems. This attribute does not display when you list the field. You can change this attribute via a “TSS REPLACE” command for user-defined fields in the FDT and pre-defined fields in the FDT where CA did not already include this attribute or NOXTRPRP.
