Format Parameters

DISPLAY/DUMP/FIELD

Specifies screen format.

Display

The screen appears as it appeared at the terminal during logging — for 3270 non-graphic test streams.

Dump

The screen appears in dump format — for test streams created at any terminal. Minimal formatting is provided. The header information includes the record number, data length, terminal name, and so on, followed by the data stream sent to or received from the terminal. If specified or left as the default, the hexadecimal translation of the data stream appears. For 3270 test streams, the data stream includes the Write Control Character (WCC) for output screens and the attention identifier (AID) and cursor location for input screens.

Field

Each field in the data stream is listed on a separate line — designed for 3270 graphic or non-graphic test streams, but supports any terminal.

See the chapter "Run Function" for a detailed description of the different formats.

Note: You can specify Display format even if a test stream has mixed terminal types. When necessary, the Print function will print screens in Field or Dump format.
