Global settings that apply to the complete application can be defined under the application options.
One attribute of the application options is Version. At run time, the version of the local AWM model is compared with the version entry in the Master Configuration file (see
Master configuration).
The attributes Start Reference and End Reference are used for parsing variable references (see
Variable references). By default these have the values “&” and “.”.
In addition, the tool execution can be controlled from the application options. The maximum return code that the tool can return without its execution being interpreted as “failed” is specified in the attribute MaxRC. Failed tools end with an error message, and prevent the execution of further tools in the tool sequence of the action.
With the EXITPARM attribute, the administrator can define a parameter value for an initial exit called before an ISPF tool is started. This can be used, for example, for the dynamic allocation of additional libraries to ensure that the tool attachment runs in a test environment (see the description of Exit TAUTOXA1 in
ISPF Exits ).
The Root Containers Action attribute can be used to refer to an action which returns the root elements used to build up the first hierarchical view of the application which will be visible in the Tree View. The referenced action descriptor must return an element list whose match name property typically references a container element type (see
Table Structure).

Type
|
Meaning
|
| Default_Generic_Symbol
|
String
|
The standard wildcard character usually used to match all elements. Generic input fields will be automatically filled in with this symbol.
Standard value: *
|
| End_Reference [D]
|
String
|
Symbol or character string that should be interpreted as meaning the end of a reference (see above).
Standard value: .
|
| EXITPARM
|
String
|
Permits the transfer of a parameter to the ISPF tool call-up exit TAUTOXA1.
Standard value: PROD
|
| Generic_Symbols [O]
|
String
|
Defines the allowed wildcard characters for a generic search. The characters given here are used to validate generic input fields in dialogs.
The permitted characters are entered directly, one after the other.
The characters entered here may depend on the integrated application system. To search files in ISPF, these characters are "*" and "%".
Example: *%
|
| Max_RC *
|
Integer
|
The maximum permitted return code of a tool that is called from the model interpreter.
The tool execution will be interpreted as being faulty if this value is exceeded.
|
| Model ID
|
String
|
ID of the model; for internal use only
|
| Root Containers Action [O]
|
Action Descriptor
|
The selected action will be executed when the application entry in the tree view is expanded by the user in order to retrieve container elements of the first hierarchy level.
|
| Start_Reference [D]
|
String
|
Symbol or character string that should be interpreted as meaning the start of a reference.
Standard value: &
|
| Version *
|
String (for example, 1.2.1)
|
Version of the AWM model
|
| Relationship
|
