BOXTITLE Attribute
Considerations
When you specify a value for one of the BOXTITLE attributes, the
text that you specify appears left-justified within the box on
the screen. If the box is continued across several pages of the
screen, the text appears at the top of the box on each screen
page.
The following list describes the relationship between the various
BOXTITLE lines and the appearance of the box on the screen:
• If you set a value for BOXTITLE 1 but do not set a value for
BOXTITLE 2 or BOXTITLE 3, the application displays the text on
the first line of the box. A screen label and field for the
box appears on the next box line.
• If you set a value for BOXTITLE 2 but do not set a value for
BOXTITLE 1 or BOXTITLE 3, the application displays a blank
line, the text, and the first line of screen labels or values.
• If you set a value for BOXTITLE 3 but do not set a value for
BOXTITLE 1 or BOXTITLE 2, the application displays two blank
lines, the text, and the first line of screen labels or
values.
For a single-file application, you can set the BOXTITLE value
to a string literal that is up to 79 characters long (78 for
T16-651x terminals).
For multifile applications, you can supply a <string-literal>
that is up to 79 characters long for the outermost box (78 for
T16-651x terminals). You can supply a <string-literal> that is
up to 71 characters long for a box at the second level of the
tree structure (refer to the TREE attribute for information about
levels of the tree structure). At each subsequent level of
nesting, you can supply eight fewer characters for each
<string-literal>.
