Editing T9154CPY T9154CPY is a file that is created on the project subvolume when you first add your
Pathmaker project. T9154CPY contains sections that are copied into the Environment
and Working-Storage divisions of the requester. Changes to this file should be made
by the project administrator, because values set here apply to all requesters within the
project.
If you decide to modify this file, you should back up and rename the original file, then
edit the file named T9154CPY. You should edit T9154CPY before generating any of
your requesters.
You can change the following values in T9154CPY:
Attributes for the ADVISORY display line
Attention attribute for data fields
TIMEOUT limit
TMF RESTART limit
Messages in the MESSAGE-FORMATS and in the UNDEFINED-MESSAGES
sections
Any of the messages for the DB (database) requesters
You can add your own special names to the SPECIAL-NAMES sections.
You must not change any of the mnemonic names in the SPECIAL-NAMES sections:
Function key names
Display attribute names
Advisory display names
ADVISORY Display Attributes
The ADVISORY display line is, by default, located on line 24 at the bottom of your
application screen. This line is used to display messages to the end user.
The ADVISORY display attribute mnemonic names are:
T9154-ADVICE-NORMAL
T9154-ADVICE-ATTN
These names cannot be changed; however, the attributes assigned to them can. T9154-
ADVICE-NORMAL sets the display attributes for warning messages. T9154-ADVICE-
ATTN sets the display attributes for error messages.
