5. Edit the following fields, as necessary:

   Field name	Description
   View Profile	Displays the name of the View Profile you are creating or modifying. This is not an editable field.
   Element Type	Displays the type of DELTA List element. Valid types are APPLCTN TRANSACT DATABASE TERMINAL LTERM RTCODE SUBPOOL COMMAND DELTALST This is not an editable field.
   Description	Type a description of the DELTA list element type. The default descriptions for each element type are APPLCTN – Define program directory entry TRANSACT – Define transaction code DATABASE – Define database directory entry TERMINAL – Define VTAM terminal LTERM – Define logical terminal RTCODE – Define Fast Path routing code SUBPOOL – Define VTAM LU 6.1 SUBPOOL COMMAND – Execute IMS operator command DELTALST – Include another DELTA list
   Field Order	Specify the Field ID number of each field in the order you want the fields to appear on the DELTA List Element Edit panel.
   Element Access	Indicate whether to prohibit users of this View Profile access to the element type or to allow edit access. Type 1 to allow edit access for the element type. Type 2 to prohibit access to the element type.
   Marked for Execution	Type a / in this field to indicate that any element of this type that is in the DELTA List should be included when the DELTA List is processed. If this field is selected, by default, when an element of this type is added in a DELTA List it is automatically included in the execution of that DELTA List.
   Stop program before change	Type a / in this field to indicate that the command should be executed, by default, for any element of this type when the DELTA List is processed. If this field is selected, by default, an element of this type in a DELTA List is stopped before the change for that element is executed. For example, it is advisable on a Revise DELTA action to stop the program before executing the Revise action. Note DELTA IMS will internally issue the /DBR NOFEOV command for the DATABASE element, and /STO for all other applicable element types. If this process does not sufficiently address your requirements, additional COMMAND elements can be used. Be aware that when performing a Fast Path database change, the /DBR command issued by DELTA IMS will take an extended amount of time if the database contains many areas. This is not an anomaly. IMS processing of the /DBR command, not DELTA IMS processing, causes the extended amount of time.
   Start program after change	Type a / in this field to indicate that the command should be executed, by default, for any element of this type when the DELTA List is processed. If this field is selected, by default, an element of this type in a DELTA List is /STArted after the change for that element is completed.
   Force update when queue count > 0	This field is valid only for the TRANSACTION element type. It will not appear on the panel for the other element types. Type a / in this field to indicate the forcing of this change, by default, for any element of this type when the DELTA List is processed. If this field is selected, by default, this option allows the desired change to any element of this type in the DELTA List even if the IMS queue count is greater than zero. Note The Force option is ignored for requests that rename the transaction, revise the transaction from local to remote or vice versa, a conversational transaction where the SPA size is changed, or transactions that are changed to or from Fast Path.
   Command defaults	This field is valid only for the COMMAND element type. It will not appear on the panel for the other element types. Use this field to set the default value for when an IMS command should be executed in relation to the execution of the DELTA List in which the command element is included. Type 1 to execute the command before DELTA List execution. Type 2 to execute the command after DELTA List execution.

6. Type a / in the selection field next to each element attribute for which you want to edit the default values. The View Profile Field Edit panel will display for the first element attribute field selected.

If this field is selected, by default, this element attribute field will be selected for revise when an element of this type is added with a DELTA action of REVISE.
