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,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 not displayed using TSS LIST.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands ADDTO and REPLACE
• The RDT and FDT records
• MISC1(RDT) authority

               MAXLEN(40)
               ATTR(MIXED)
