This screen displays a list of Daily Prompting tables available for update. A Daily table is a copy of a Master Table specific to a particular business day. It is accessed in order to assign values to (previously defined) parameters and to set conditions. The Daily table can be accessed multiple times on the same day.

When you enter this screen, the current date is displayed for each Daily Table. You can overwrite the date to select a different date.

Table deletion can be performed from this screen by typing option D (Delete) in the selection field to the left of TABLE NAME and pressing Enter. A Delete Confirmation window is displayed.

The Delete Confirmation window also enables you to choose the type of deletion desired.

Type Y (Yes) to confirm the deletion. When deletion is requested, then by default the table is deleted from the Table list, and both the Master Prompting table and the current Daily table are deleted from the Prompting library.

To delete the current daily table without deleting the table from the Table list and without deleting the Master Prompting table from the Prompting library, type Y in the DELETE DAILY TABLE ONLY field. In this case, only the current daily table and the corresponding daily AutoEdit member are deleted. The setting of the DELETE DAILY TABLE ONLY field is preserved in a profile variable for ease of subsequent use. This is useful if the Master Prompting table has been updated. To reflect those changes in the Daily table and the AutoEdit member, the current Daily table must be deleted, and then be reselected again.

To select a table for any action other than deletion, enter any character except D in the selection field to the left of TABLE NAME and press Enter.

The display of tables can be limited to those tables beginning with a prefix of 1 through 3 characters by filling in the TABLE PREFIX field. The TABLE PREFIX is retained as an ISPF profile variable from one invocation of the Table Selection screen to the next.

To display the first occurrence of a table at the top of the screen, use the line command L xxxx, where xxxx is a specific parameter or parameter prefix (under the command line).

Update Parameters and Set Conditions Screen

After table selection, the screen shown in Figure 122 is displayed:
