ID

Name of the display type. This value can be used to identify the DISPLAY TYPE field in an option’s entry panel (if one exists) or when changing the Display Type by specifying the command DISPLAY x (where x is the display type) from the command line. This field must be one character in length only. The value can be any printable character. A blank is not valid. The character ‘1’ is reserved for internal use and is not used for a new display format.

TYPE

Logical type of the display type (second level qualifier). Valid values depend on the screen in which the display type is used. For example, display types of the Control‑D User Report List screen use this field for the following file types:

P - Permanent file

A - Active file

H - History file

* - All file types

CLASS

Class of record for which this display type is used. Valid values depend on the screen in which the display type is used. For example, display types of the Control‑D User Report List screen have the following record classes:

U - User records

S - Sysdata records

R - Ruler records

* - All record classes

IDLIKE

Name of the display type to which the current ID is identical. TYPELIKE and CLASSLIKE must also be specified. The definition of the display type specified using parameter IDLIKE must precede the current line. When this parameter is specified the current display format has only an @STYLE line, and takes its definition from the specified display format. This field must be one character in length only.

TYPELIKE

Type of the display type to which the current ID is identical. Valid values are the same as in the TYPE parameter.

CLASSLIKE

Class of record for which this display type is used. Valid values are the same as in the CLASS parameter.

LTH

Length of the line to be displayed. Valid values are 80 or 132.

DESC

Descriptive text to display next to the display type in the display resulting from command DI ?. Maximum length: 22 characters. Default: Blank.

Note: Only the first description for each @STYLE ID is used.
