Top Line
The top line of the screen contains the following areas (areas are numbered in the sample screen above):
  • Command area
    ih1.command area Provides twenty spaces in columns 2 through 21 for entering commands to manipulate the work file and to communicate with the DDDL compiler; these commands are listed under Top-line Commands later in this section; they are described in detail in
    CA IDMS Common Administrating section
    .
  • Name area
    Displays the name of the compiler and the release number.
  • Message area
    Displays one of the following, as appropriate: the work-file page and line number; the literal NO ERRORS; the number of error messages issued for the compile; or a message describing the status of a top-line command.
  • Dictionary area
    Displays either the name of the current dictionary (if other than the default) or the literal BLK, which signifies use of a line command.
    Line number area
    Displays one of the following, as appropriate: the literal EMPTY or the top (current) line of the screen I/O area, followed by the total number of lines (last line) in the work file.
Input/output Area
Below the screen's top line, the input/output area covers the remainder of the screen. The online DDDL compiler uses a line length of 79 regardless of the terminal width; however, the number of lines displayed varies based on the type of terminal in use.
