• Type PASTE in the COMMAND area
• Point the CURSOR to the new location for the column
• Press ENTER

For example, type CUT and point the CURSOR to the OWNER field as shown in the sample panel below. Press ENTER.

------------------------------ IOF Job List Menu -------------( 5 )----------- COMMAND ===> CUT SCROLL ===> CURSOR --------------------------------- Output Jobs --------------------------------- -------JOBNAME--JOBID--ACT-STAT-OWNER----DEST/DEVICE--------RECS-HELD-DAY--TIME _ 1 JOBARCH J00551 SYSRHT LOCAL 132 061 12:45 _ 2 M88PANDF J09526 SYSRHT LOCAL.SYSRHT 6262 036 13:21 _ 3 IOFWTR J09447 SYSRHT LOCAL 3015 28 034 15:21 _ 4 BATCHIOF J09081 SYSRHT FETCH 223 029 17:56 _ 5 JOBUPLOD J08773 SYSRHT LOCAL 63 022 15:22

The OWNER column will be removed from the panel, and the fields to the right will be shifted to take it's place. The modified display is shown below.

------------------------------ IOF Job List Menu -------------( 5 )----------- COMMAND ===> MAX SCROLL ===> CURSOR --------------------------------- Output Jobs --------------------------------- -------JOBNAME--JOBID--ACT-STAT--DEST/DEVICE--------RECS-HELD-DAY--TIME--PAGES- _ 1 JOBARCH J00551 LOCAL 132 061 12:45 _ 2 M88PANDF J09526 LOCAL.SYSRHT 6262 036 13:21 _ 3 IOFWTR J09447 LOCAL 3015 28 034 15:21 _ 4 BATCHIOF J09081 FETCH 223 029 17:56 _ 5 JOBUPLOD J08773 LOCAL 63 022 15:22

Scroll to the extreme right by entering MAX in the command area and pressing PFKey 11. The new display is shown below.

------------------------------ IOF Job List Menu -------------( 5 )----------- COMMAND ===> PASTE SCROLL ===> CURSOR --------------------------------- Output Jobs --------------------------------- -------JOBNAME--JOBID--ACT-STAT-COMMENTS--------------------------------------- _ 1 JOBARCH J00551 _ 2 M88PANDF J09526 _ 3 IOFWTR J09447 _ 4 BATCHIOF J09081 _ 5 JOBUPLOD J08773

Type PASTE in COMMAND as shown above, and point the cursor on any row in the COMMENTS field. The OWNER field that was previously CUT from the display will be inserted before COMMENTS.

The panel modifications are saved in the user's profile and will automatically be applied each time that user enters IOF.

If multiple fields are CUT before PASTE is entered, the fields will be pasted in the order in which they were cut.

------------------------------ IOF Job List Menu -------------( 2 )----------- COMMAND ===> ARRANGE DEFAULT SCROLL ===> CURSOR --------------------------------- Output Jobs --------------------------------- -------JOBNAME--JOBID--ACT-STAT-OWNER----DEST/DEVICE--------RECS-HELD-DAY--TIME _ 1 M86ISFCV J04823 SYSMVS LOCAL 1902 301 10:09 _ 2 IOFWTR J04650 SYSMVS LOCAL 1416 15 297 16:04

CUT, PASTE and ARRANGE Command Syntax

CUT Command Syntax

CUT [field]

field is the name of the field to be moved.

If field is not specified, the field pointed to by the cursor is cut from the panel. Non-scrollable fields can not be CUT.

PASTE Command Syntax

PASTE [BEFORE/AFTER/FIRST/LAST] [field]

BEFORE means insert before the specified field.
AFTER means insert after the specified field.
FIRST inserts to the right of the last non-scrollable field.
LAST sets the target to the to the far right of the screen.
field is the name of the target field.

If field is not specified, then the field pointed to by the cursor is used as the target field. BEFORE is the default if neither BEFORE, AFTER, FIRST or LAST is specified. You can not PASTE into the non-scrollable fields to the left of the panel.

ARRANGE Command Syntax

ARRANGE [field1] [FIRST/LAST/BEFORE/AFTER] [field2]

field1 is the field to be moved.
FIRST sets field1 as the first non-scrollable field.
LAST sets field1 as the last field on the panel.
BEFORE moves field1 before field2.
AFTER moves field1 after field2.
field2 is the name of the target field.

ARRANGE DEFAULT

DEFAULT means reset the section to the default format.

ARRANGE $TEMP

$TEMP temporarily sets CUT, PASTE and ARRANGE format changes for the duration of the current IOF panel display only.

Assume that a group of operators prefers to modify the Output Group Display to make CLASS, FORMS, UCS and FCB the first four non-scrollable fields. This can be accomplished with the OPERFORM clist shown below.

/*- OPERFORM Clist to modify the Output Group Display -----------------------*/ ARRANGE CLASS FIRST ARRANGE FORMS AFTER CLASS ARRANGE UCS AFTER FORMS ARRANGE FCB AFTER UCS

From the Output Group Display, enter %OPERFORM to execute the 4 ARRANGE commands required to modify the panel format as required. The panel format changes are saved in the operator's profile so that the clist needs to be executed only one time by each operator.

Clists and Rexx execs can be programmed to adapt to the environment, and to react to input parameters. This is easily demonstrated with the IOFFMT sample Rexx exec. Specifications for the exec are:

• %IOFFMT can be invoked from either the Job List Menu or the Output Group Display.
• If invoked from any other IOF panel, it returns with an error message.
• Several (2 in this sample) panel formats can be requested by the input parm values of 1 and 2. Additional formats can be added where needed.
• If an invalid input parm is specified, return with an error message.
• The panel format changes are temporary. Panel formats revert to the default as soon as the current panel is exited.
