2. For a description of the RULE NAME, TEST STREAM NAME, RULESET NAME, ROW, COL, and LEN fields, see the section Using the Rules Function Panels.

   CUT FROM

   Indicates the location of the field that contains the data you want to reuse. You can use a model screen to fill in the location values.

   Note: Data that you cut is not removed from the screen. It is copied so you can paste it into another screen.

   VALUE OR DESCRIPTION

   Type the name of the field to be cut; optional. The field name can be up to three lines long. In this field you can either put an explanation for why this field is being copied or a sample of the data being copied.

   INPUT/OUTPUT FIELD

   Indicates whether this rule applies to an input or an output screen. Specify I for input; O for output.

3. After you complete the screen and press Enter, the system-generated CUT ID for the piece of data you have selected will appear on the panel.

   Note: The CUT ID always begins with the letter C and is followed by five numbers. A sample CUT ID would be C00001. You will use this CUT ID whenever you want to paste this particular data into another panel.
