I am trying to create a UIM panel group. To conserve screen real

want to limit the number of options lines to 1, though I have several
options. So I need to implement the F23=More options capability.
However, I have been unsuccessful finding examples of this
technique, and
though there are references to the feature in the Application Display
Reference guide, I do not see any that explain HOW to do this. Nor
even
what to manipulate. When I try, I get CPD5B90 or CPD5B91, depending
upon
whether a truth table is involved or not. (Note that both CBD5B90 and
CBD5B91 recommend changing MAXACTL to solve the problem, but that is
contrary to my purpose and won't use the F23=more. option.) Every
example
UIM application Google finds for me, lacks this feature.
It's probably 15 years since I last did this. None of my current UIM
examples use this technique but I did implement it at IBM on one
occasion (I thought it was on the Work with QM Tables display but I
see that now uses 3 option rows so either I'm misremembering or it has
been changed since).
There is no in-built UIM support for "More options" in the way "More
keys" is supported. You have to do it yourself. From your message I
suspect you've already got most of it in place: You need a variable to
set the current row. You need condition statements for each condition
(row1, row2, row3). You need to specify the appropriate condition on
each option. You need a truth table to tell UIM that these conditions
are mutually exclusive. When F23 is pressed your code sets the row
variable and redisplays the panel. UIM does the rest.
Given the error messages you report I suspect the issue is either:
a) the truth table is not correct
b) you need more space for the options than you think (i.e., you
think they'll fit on one row but UIM thinks otherwise).
Try keeping the truth table but also set MAXACTL=3 and then see what
is displayed. That may shed some light on what is wrong.
If I get a chance I'll have a play with this but it will have to
wait--40 poles require tamping into place first.
