RE: SYS21 - Magic Numbers

[Paul Crabtree <PCrabtree@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Magic numbers were hidden fields in display files that System/21 Explorer
uses to decide which panel to show. If you look at the sources you have for
display files (if you get source!) then you will see something like..

%%%A%A* Following record format ID added by ADDDSPFRID command
%%%A%A                                  2  2'*++OE00X'
%%%A%A                                      DSPATR(ND)

This means you are in conversational order entry to System/21 explorer.

We are getting ready to install SP4 and  I have been going through the
documentation.  "MAGIC" numbers references keep popping up. For my own
curiosity, what are they talking about?
