Error description

  • The CICS TS DFHEDAP program and non-terminal mode CEDA commands
    do not support a change to the TYPETERM definition attribute
    ALTscreen(  ). The change is ignored and no updating of the
    ALTscreen attribute occurs. The CEDA terminal mode update of
    ALTscreen(  ) does not reset the CSD record's ALTscreen
    attribute values to zeros. DFHEDAP and CEDA terminal
    mode/non-terminal mode should process TYPETERM ALTscreen(  ) in
    a manner consistent with EXEC CICS CSD.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An RDO command passed to the DFHEDAP    *
    *                      program interface to blank the          *
    *                      ALTSCREEN attribute of a TYPETERM       *
    *                      definition has no effect and ALTSCREEN  *
    *                      remains unchanged.                      *
    *                      Similarly a non-panel mode CEDA command *
    *                      to blank ALTSCREEN has no effect.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When an RDO command is passed to the DFHEDAP program interface
    to change a TYPETERM resource's ALTSCREEN attribute to blanks
    it has no effect and the ALTSCREEN attribute remains unchanged.
    
       ALTER GROUP(name) TYPETERM(name) ALTSCREEN( , )
    
    If the same RDO command is entered at a terminal from a clear
    screen as a CEDA line command it also has no effect.
    
       CEDA ALTER GROUP(name) TYPETERM(name) ALTSCREEN( , )
    
    However, when CEDA displays the TYPETERM resource on a panel and
    the ALTSCREEN values are overtyped with blanks the change is
    accepted.  For example...
    
       ALTSCreen    ==> 027 , 132          0-255
    
       ALTSCreen    ==>     ,              0-255
    

Problem conclusion

  • A change has been made so that the DFHEDAP program interface or
    a non-panel mode CEDA command will now recognise a blank value
    for the ALTSCREEN attribute.
