in the ZEX1412P panel description file, you can incorporate these three statements into
the latter file.
#NOTE ZEX1411P

The ZEX1412P panel description file, listed next, provides the same display panel as
the panel description file ZEX1402P, listed previously in the subsection, “The Structure
of a Panel Description File.”

To display the panel defined by this panel description file, you can use a similar NCL
procedure to the one (ZEX1402N) listed later, in the subsection “Examples of Panel
Processing.” (In this procedure, change the operand of the PANEL verb from
ZEX1402P to ZEX1412P.) All panel description files used with the #INCLUDE panel
control statement must exist in a valid panel library. In the example just displayed, the
ZEX1411P panel description file must exist in a panel library associated with the user.
For further information on the #INCLUDE panel control statement, refer to the
NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Reference Manual.
Performing a Panel Test After you have created a panel description file, you can perform a panel test on it in
Edit Services. Performing a panel test is discussed later in this section.
