DUNAMIC areas

[Binyamin Dissen]

Is there a CR/LF attribute to go to the next line or does the dynamic area
have a fixed length?

If the latter, can this be queried?

Are there any special codes that arem't in )AREA TYPE ?

Dynamic areas are just one variable, i.e. they consist of a single string, so the screen width ZSREENW determines the position where the next line begins.

All characters defined in )AREA will be applied to set the "appearance" of the part of the string behind the respective char.

HTH,

So,

Screen width

No special new line character

No other special characters.

Thanks.

It has been a while for me. I see there is the new SHADOW which allows
attributes without taking a position in the buffer.

I have never played with SHADOW, although this saves some space on the screen which might be quite nice for some cases.

To avoid getting data contents conflicting with attributes, we use hex characters (in this example, X'11' is the attribute character):
)ATTR
11 TYPE(DATAIN) INTENS(HIGH) JUST(ASIS) COLOR(WHITE) CAPS(OFF) PAD(_)

The shadow variable mirrors the dynamic area variable. Edit hilite uses shadow variables. See the below link for a SHARE session from 2012 for advanced panels.

https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/Handout/Session10615/S10615%20-%20ISPF%20Panels%20Advanced.pdf

Since the original design of ISPF panels was based on "What You See Is What You Get" 3270 attributes required an actual location defined in the panel body. Shadow variables were created to allow ISPF to have the ability to have character level attributes. The shadow variable mirrors the dynamic area variable so you can associate an attribute with a character location without having to take up a physical location on the panel body.

SDSF panels are dynamic areas, and that's what allowed Doug Nadel to create his "HISDSF" panel REXX to highlight all kinds of useful parts of those screens, and for a change, it's just plain REXX, so you can actually change it as much as you like, for example in my version I use the abbreviated panel function in the screen name.

In latest SDSF releases,  there is a SET SCRNAME ON/OFF command that tells SDSF to dynamically set ISFxxxx as the screen name where xxxx is the name of the panel being shown (eg ISFDA oand ISFHOLD). The only exception is the main panel which uses the SCRNAME passed on initial invocation.

re: " screen width ZSREENW determines the position where the next line begins   "
 
It depends on how the dynamic area is defined.  Some dynamic areas do not span the entire width of the panel.  In those cases, you can use the PQUERY service to determine the width and depth of the field.  Just use it once before you display the panel.
