EDIT

The EDIT command alternately enters and exits the Edit environment of the Rule Definition screen. The Edit environment provides ISPF-like line editing commands to the Rule Definition screen. For more information, see Appendix A, "Editing Rule Definitions in the IOA Edit Environment."

SHPF

The SHPF command shows the current PFKey assignments.

SCHED

The SCHED command (abbreviated SC) alternately displays or hides the rule scheduling parameters (independent of the Show Scheduling Criteria field).

OPTLIST

The OPTLIST command (abbreviated OPT or O) alternately displays or hides the list of allowable Automated Console Action parameters (DO OPTIONS).

SHOWNEST

The SHOWNEST command (abbreviated SH) alternately displays or hides level numbers for DO statement nesting, relative to the nesting level of DO IF, DO ELSE and DO ENDIF statements, and DO WHILE and DO ENDWHILE statements.

/>

The /> command comments out a DO statement in a Control-O rule definition. To comment out a statement, type /> over the first two letters of the statement name (for example, for a DO COMMAND statement type /> over the CO in command), and press Enter. The entire statement is commented out.

Valid formats of the /> command are:

• /> OFF — The commented-out DO statement is hidden.
• /> ON — The commented-out DO statement is displayed. Default.
• /> — indicates whether /> ON or /> OFF mode is active

For more information, see Commenting Out Rule Statements.

CAPS

By default, all entries of lowercase characters are converted and saved as uppercase. In Control-O rules, certain fields (such as the string entered in the ON STRING field) can be enabled to accept and save lowercase characters, by using the CAPS OFF command.

Valid formats of the CAPS command are:

• CAPS OFF — enables certain user entries to be saved and displayed in lowercase characters
• CAPS ON — forces all user entries to be displayed in uppercase characters, regardless of the case in which they were entered. Default.
• CAPS — indicates whether CAPS ON or CAPS OFF mode is active

Note: JCL jobs used by Control-M do not support lowercase characters. BMC recommends that you do not use lowercase characters to define Control-O variables if those variables are shared by Control-M through IOAVAR.

/*

The /* command enables the user to insert a comment into the Action section of the Rule Definition screen.

Valid formats of the /* command are:

• /* OFF — The comment line is hidden.
• /* ON — The comment line is displayed. Default.
• /* — indicates whether /* ON or /* OFF mode is active

For more information, see the section immediately below, Specifying Comments.
