EDTDTAARA2 Edit Data Area 2

EDTDTAARA2 EDIT DATA AREA 2 TAAARAE
The Edit Data Area 2 command allows you to key over the existing data in a character data area. The edit display appears in the same format as used by DSPDTAARA. Each line of 50 bytes is a separate field. Thus you can key (or key over) formatted lines with EDTDTAARA2. This allows for the values to be easily seen with DSPDTAARA. The EDTDTAARA tool also allows editing, but treats the entire contents as a single field on the display. The EDTDTAARA3 allows editing in Hex. A typical command would be: EDTDTAARA2 DTAARA(xxxx) When the display appears, 9 lines (450 bytes) are displayed. If the data area size is greater than 450 bytes, rollup is allowed to access each succeeding 450 bytes. Rolldown is valid to re-display prior screens. When the user presses Enter, a check is made to ensure that data has not been keyed beyond the actual length of the data area. An error message will be displayed if this occurs. If data below X'40' exists, it is changed to blank and and error message will appear. Contrast with other functions ----------------------------- The system CHGDTAARA command does not allow you to key over the existing value. You can change the data, but the existing value is not displayed. The TAA Tool command EDTDTAARA allows you to key over the existing value, but considers the entire data area as a single field (if the data area is less than 800 bytes in length). EDTDTAARA can be used to edit decimal data areas. Depending on what use you are making of the data area, either EDTDTAARA or EDTDTAARA2 should meet your editing needs. Command parameters *CMD ------------------ DTAARA The qualified file name of the data area. The library value defaults to *LIBL. *CURLIB may be specified. Restrictions ------------ Only character data areas may be edited. For numeric data areas, use EDTDTAARA. If characters below X'40' exist, a prompt for the EDTDTAARA3 command occurs. If the TAALICENSE data area in TAATOOL, TAAINS, TAAINS2, or TAAINSLIC is specified, no changes can occur to positions 1901 - 2000. Prerequisites ------------- The following TAA Tools must be on your system: RTVDTAARAD Retrieve data area description Implementation -------------- None, the tool is ready to use. Objects used by the tool ------------------------ Object Type Attribute Src member Src file ------ ---- --------- ---------- ---------- EDTDTAARA2 *CMD TAAARAE QATTCMD TAAARAEC *PGM CLP TAAARAEC QATTCL TAAARAED *FILE DSPF TAAARAED QATTDDS
