Writer instructions
Purpose	Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch. You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner. If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space. For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.
Removing	When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.
Translation	Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n. See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.
Usage	Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros. If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors. When should I use a space announcement banner? Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model. Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version. When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Modify the layout information for an MVS object (M line command)
Add an unrelated object (A line command)
Remove an unrelated object (R line command)
Reverse removing an unrelated object (U line command)

Displays a list of the unrelated objects from which data is to be extracted.

Type

Specify MVS File for Object Area

You can change the object definition for the selected unrelated MVS file from which you want to extract data. When specifying patterns in the fields, File-AID/RDX presents selection lists.

File name

Displays the file name of the unrelated MVS file from which you want to extract data.

Record layout usage

Indicate whether a single record layout (usage "S"), or an XREF (usage "X") had been used to define the selection criteria. Only needed when no relationships have been defined for the MVS file.

Record layout file

Specify the record layout file for the MVS object from which you want to extract data. To view a list of layout files, specify a pattern. Valid pattern character is * (see Pattern Characters). If you specify a pattern, the MVS Catalog Utility File List window is displayed if defined relationships match.

Member name

Specify the member of the record layout file that contains the layout information for the MVS object. Leave blank or use a pattern to narrow the search.

XREF file name

Only needed if layout usage is X. Specify the XREF file name for the MVS object from which you want to extract data. Valid pattern character is * (see Pattern Characters). If you specify a pattern, the MVS Catalog Utility File List window is displayed if defined relationships match.

Member name

Specify the member of the XREF file that contains the layout information for the MVS object. Leave blank or use a pattern to narrow the search.

I/O Exit Name

Specify the I/O Exit Name for the unrelated MVS file you want File-AID/RDX to use when accessing the MVS file.
