Input Fields
TASK
By default, the number of the current task being executed on this terminal. Users can view a list of channels for a different task by typing a task number for a valid task that is currently on the active or suspended chain. Tasks should be trapped by Code Debug CICS or suspended via other means to ensure predictable results since available channels and containers will change as a task executes.
PROGRAM
By default, the current program being executed on this terminal. Users can change the program by typing a different program name. The program must be currently active for the displayed task or at a higher link level.
CHANNEL
By default, this field shows the current input channel for the current program being executed on this terminal or the channel you selected on the Program-Channel-Display-2-C-1 screen. Users can also change the channel by typing a different channel name directly into the field.
CONTAINER
By default, this field shows the last container that was written to the current input channel or the container that you selected on the Channel-Container-Display-2-C-2 screen.
HEX-OFFSET or DEC-OFFSET
This field displays the current offset where the display of the container data area begins, relative to 0. Users can change the offset by typing a value in the range of 0 to the maximum decimal value length of the container area.
The field name is DEC-OFFSET when the display mode is character (HEX OFF) or vertical (HEX ON).
ADD-OFFSET
This field allows users to add to or subtract from the value in the HEX-OFFSET or DEC-OFFSET field to set a new starting offsetvalue for the container data area. Precede the value with a minus sign (-) to add a negative offset. In HEX DUMP mode, only hexadecimal values can be used. In HEX OFF and HEX ON modes, either decimal or hexadecimal values can be used. Hexadecimal values should be preceded by a plus (+) sign.
CONTAINER-LENGTH
This field shows the length of the data in the specified container. If the data is currently being displayed via hex dump, the length is displayed in hex. Any other mode is displayed in decimal.
Data Area
The container data can be displayed in several different formats:
HEX OFF: Displays the data in character format. The LEFT and RIGHT primary commands can be used to position data in this format.
HEX or HEX ON: Displays the data in vertical hex format. The LEFT and RIGHT primary commands can be used to position data in this format.
HEX DUMP: Displays the data in dump format. The UP, DOWN, TOP, and BOTTOM primary commands can be used to position data in this format.
The FIND and RFIND primary commands can be used to position to an actual string within the container area.
