Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
PFkeys
Click this to set parameters for MFS function keys.
Trancode
Click this to specify IMS trancode construction.
Reorder
Click this to reorder MFS MIDs and MODs.
Assembler
Click this to set Assembler generation options.
MID Name
Type a new MID name if you want to override the AMB-generated name. The default MID name reflects the number of characters in the screen name, as follows:

4-char name - screennameMI

5-, 6-, 7-char name - screennameI

8-char name - screennameI, where I replaces the 8th character

MID Number
Type a number to generate the EXIT parameter on the MID segment statement using your number as the exit routine number. Valid values are 0 through 127.
MID Vector
Type a number to generate the EXIT parameter on the MID segment statement using your number as the exit vector number. Valid values are 0 through 255.
MID Default Values
Check this to treat initial values as the default values for fields in the MFS-generated MID.
MOD Name
Type a new MOD name if you want to override the AMB-generated name. The default MOD name reflects the number of characters in the screen name, as follows:

4-char name - screennameMO

5-, 6-, 7-char name - screennameO

8-char name - screennameO, where O replaces the 8th character

MOD Fill Char
Click one of the following options to generate fill characters in the MOD segment statement:

None - Use spaces for the fill character (default).

Null - Do not use fill characters. This causes the field to be truncated. Programs that specify a Null fill character must handle variable-length fields.

PT - Use the program tab character for the fill character.

Character - Specify the use of a specific character as the fill character. Also type the character value in the field to its right.

Trancode Field Name
Select the field name to hold the transaction code or operator logical paging command. Alternatively, select *PF and assign the PF key value on the MFS Function Keys dialog box, or *TC and construct a transaction code on the Trancode Construction dialog box.
Trancode Literal
Type a literal value as the transaction code. The default is the screen name.
Lines per Page
Type the number of lines to print on a page if the Device Type is a printer.
Device Type
Type the standard device characters for different model terminals and printers. Defaults are IBM-recommended device characters. See your IBM MFS or IMS installation manual for further details.
DSCA
Type a new value for the Default System Control Area if you want to override it. The default value is X'00A0'.
DIF-DOF Name
Type a new value if you want to override the AMB-generated name. The default DIF-DOF name reflects the number of characters in the screen name, as follows:

4-char name - screennameDF

5-, 6- char name - screenname$

7-, 8-char name - screenname, truncated to six characters

Operator Logical Paging
Check this to request operator logical paging.
Cursor Feedback
Check this to define a field in the MID as the cursor feedback field. This field provides cursor information for input processing. To hold the information, Builder appends two half-word binary fields to the screen records screen-CURSOR-ROW and screen-CURSOR-COL. Cursor feedback fields do not affect output cursor positioning.
LABELED Screen
Check this to append the screen name to the input message.
