Editing Service Syntax

A Service can have many syntaxes but only one default syntax. The default syntax is automatically assigned to the Service when the Service is added to the Service Action. You may assign another syntax containing options different than the default. Doing this overrides the assigned default.

To edit a Service

1. On the DASD MANAGER PLUS Main Menu, select Services and press Enter.The Services Menu panel is displayed.

2. On the Services Menu panel, In the Service field, type a Service name, select Edit a Service Syntax Options, and press Enter.

   Important

   As an alternate method, you can access the Service Syntax List panel from the Service Menu panel to edit Service syntax.

   1. On the Service Menu panel, enter a wildcard character in the Service field and press Enter.
   2. On the List Service panel, type E next to a service and press Enter.

   The Service Syntax List panel is displayed.

3. From the Service Syntax List panel, in the Act field, type the appropriate letter to select an option:
   • B—Browse syntax options
   • C—Create a syntax
   • D—Delete a syntax
   • E—Edit the syntax options
   • L—Like the syntax (use the syntax as a template to create a new syntax like the original)
   • P—Edit the syntax properties
   • A—View a list of Actions that use the syntax (simulate syntax generation)

   • F—Set the default syntax for a Service.

     When a default syntax is set, new Service Actions automatically use the default syntax. The default syntax is automatically set for a Service when the Service is selected.

     Important

     You can select a different default syntax from the Action Services panel.

4. (optional) In the Owner.Name field, edit the default value (%.%) to filter the list of displayed syntaxes.
