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.

******************************* BOTTOM OF DATA *******************************

This screen shows all existing literal definitions. Using the line commands you can Add, Delete, or Update literal definitions. When the desired literal definition has been defined, Select it so the literal value will be used for the listed target column.

The body of this screen consists of an upper portion and a lower portion:

Upper Portion

The upper portion of this screen consists of the following fields:

Target Column Name

Displays the column or field name for which the literal definition is to be applied.

Target Column Type

Displays the data type and length for the target column or field.

Lower Portion

The lower portion of this screen consists of the following columns:

CMD

Enter a line command in the CMD column next to a literal definition. See Line Commands for a description of the available commands.

Number

Displays the number of the literal definition. Literal numbers are assigned automatically when creating the definition with the Add command. The letter L identifies the number as a literal definition. You can define up to 99 literals.

Type(Length)

Displays the data type and length of the literal definition. The literal’s data type and length must match the target column’s type and length (see also Column/Field Mapping Rules).

Value

Displays the contents of the literal definition. Use the LEFT and RIGHT scroll commands to view values larger than the display width.

Primary Commands

CANCEL (CAN)

Terminates the Default Value Definition screen and returns you to the Column or Field Mapping screen. There are no operands associated with this command.

END

Terminates the Default Value Definition screen and returns you to the Column or Field Mapping screen with the selected literal definition assigned to the column or field. There are no operands associated with this command.

Line Commands

The following line commands are valid on this screen:

S (Select)

Selects the current literal definition. When you press Enter File-AID/RDX returns to the Column or Field Mapping screen and assigns the selected literal definition to the target column/field. The literal value has to fit the target column/field’s type and cannot exceed its length. The defined literal can now be mapped to any other Target Column/Field by its Column/Field Number. See also Db2 Column Mapping Screen After Some Column Assignments.

A (Add)

Creates a new literal definition and pops up the Default Value Specification window (see Default Value Specification). File-AID/RDX creates the number automatically. The number is always preceded by the letter L, identifying it as a literal definition. The Type and Length fields are preset to the same values as the target column/field type and length. Enter the desired value and press Enter to finish the literal definition.

D (Delete)

Deletes an existing literal definition. When you enter the D line command File-AID/RDX pops up the Delete Value Confirmation window (see Delete Value Confirmation). Answer YES to continue your delete request, or enter NO to cancel the delete operation. If the value to be deleted is currently mapped to a target column/field, Delete will remove the definition and all of its mappings.

U (Update)

Allows you to modify an existing literal definition. It pops up the Default Value Specification window (see Default Value Specification) with the current values prefilled. Change the value as desired and press Enter to change the literal definition.
