Changing Report List Display Types

Different display types in the Report List screens contain different combinations of fields, depending on the intended usage and audience of the display type. Each display type is represented by a one-letter code.

The current display type can be changed by entering the DISPLAY command (abbreviated DI), followed by the display type code, in the COMMAND field of the Report List screen. You can also display a list of available display types by entering DI ? in the COMMAND field.

1. Type DI U in the COMMAND field and press Enter to display the User display type.

   Available predefined display types are described in the online facilities chapter of the Control-D and Control-V User Guide. Your site can customize these display types and/or create other display types during installation.

   The window lists possible display options (IDs) and their descriptions. Note that the window also has an OPTION (O) field. This window enables you to change display types, without entering the DISPLAY command in the Report List screen.

   Note: You can also close the window by pressing END (PF03/PF15), without making a selection.

3. Type S (Select) in the OPTION field next to the D display type ID in the window, and press Enter.

   The window is closed and the Default display type is redisplayed.
