Notes:
1. When you do not specify a default color, the color is based on the field type and intensity values:
protect/normal displays blue, protect/bright displays white, unprotect/normal displays green, and
unprotect/bright displays red.
2. If any field on a panel has explicitly specified a color (including DEFCOLOR), all bright fields with
DEFCOLOR or no color specified are displayed white and all normal fields with DEFCOLOR or no
color specified are displayed green. This is a 3270 hardware limitation and not the panel facility.
BLInk
specifies that the field blinks.
REVerse
specifies that the field is in reverse video.
UNDerline
specifies that the field is underlined.
NOJustify
specifies that justification is not done (left justified but blanks are not stripped).
LEft
specifies that the field is left justified (leading blanks are stripped).
RIght
specifies that the field is right justified (trailing blanks are stripped).
PAd()
specified only in the context of fields having variables. In an unprotected field the pad character fills
the character positions that are not occupied by a variable value. In a protected field, the pad
character is similar but the scope of the fill area is not the whole field as in the unprotected field. It is
bound by where the variable starts, within the protected field to either the end of the field or the start
of the next variable or text.
NULls
specifies that a field will be padded with the null character.
BLAnks
specifies that a field will be padded with blanks.
char
specifies a single character to be used to pad a field.
NUMeric
specifies a field is numeric (unprotected field only).
CUrsor
specifies that the cursor is positioned at the beginning of this field. If multiple cursor fields are defined,
then the last one defined contains the cursor. The cursor is placed in the top left corner if a cursor field
is not defined.
MDT
sets the modify bit tag on for the field. Always return this field on a read, even if the field was not
modified by the operator.
Defining the Actual PANEL Layout with the '.PANEL' Verb
Following the .DEFINE verbs should be a .PANEL verb that signals the start of the panel layout. This verb
must also start at column one and be capitalized. The lines in the panel definition should be specified in
the same positions that you want them displayed. All text entered after the panel verb is significant to the
panel generator, including blank lines, and therefore comment lines are not allowed. The first character
has to be a protect/skip or unprotect control character. The panel definition ends at the end of file or the
next .PANEL verb starting in column one. Only one panel definition per file is supported.
