Namelist Commands
Describes the namelist commands.
The
RLX
service provides a set of namelist commands that control various attributes of the displayed columns. These namelist commands occur in pairs. A given attribute is activated by one command of the pair and deactivated by the other. The namelist command pairs include:MODIFY PROTECT
CAPS ASIS
FREEZE THAW
NULLS NONULLS
The namelist commands accept as their arguments a list of dialog variable names and/or ordinal column numbers from the two heading lines. Alternatively, the following keywords globally reference all the query result columns.
YES/NO/ALL/NONE/ON/OFF
YES, ALL, and ON are synonyms. Similarly, NO, NONE, and OFF are synonyms.
Specification of Namelists
Namelist command syntax is the same whether the list is coded as an operand of the
RLX
TBDISPL service or as a command entered interactively at run-time. A namelist consists of a list of names or ordinal column numbers enclosed in parentheses. Within the parentheses, the names or ordinal numbers can be separated with commas or blanks. For example,(DV1 2 DV3)
When the command is entered interactively and the list consists of a single name, ordinal number or global keyword, the parentheses may be omitted. For example,
Command ===> NULLS ON
However, the same command coded as an operand of the
RLX
TBDISPL service must be enclosed in parentheses:RLX TBDISPL ... NULLS(ON)
The sections which follow describe the namelist commands supported by the
RLX
TBDISPL service.
