   Customizing data display in windows mode

   If you want to create customized views for your own use, allocate a standard partitioned data set named userid.BBVDEF, where userid is your TSO ID.

   If you are a site administrator creating site-wide customized views, use the hlq.SBBVDEF data set.

   To create and save a customized view

   1. Display the view that you want to customize by using either of the following methods:
      • Use the VIEWS command to select the view from a list of views.
      • Type the name of the view on the COMMAND line and press Enter.

   2. On the view's COMMAND line, type CUST and press Enter.A dialog displays the view customization options at the top. At the bottom of the dialog, a series of columns displays a working copy of the view. The view assigns a unique letter to each column. You can use the unique letters to select the columns that you want to change with one of the customization options.

      Tip

      The online Help describes each customization option. You can see these descriptions by typing HELP CUST on the COMMAND line (or HELP if you are already in view customization).

   3. Specify a customization option:
      1. In the Option field, type the option letter (such as F to customize format).
      2. If the option requires a target column, either type the corresponding column letter in the OPTION field, or place your cursor on that column’s letter.
      3. Press Enter.

   4. Customize the view as needed.
      For more information, see the following topics:
   5. When you finish customizing the view, press the END (PF3) key.
   6. When prompted to save your changes, type YES in the Save changes field.

   7. When prompted to specify information about the new view, complete each field based on the following table, and press Enter.
      
      

      Field	Description
      View name	Name of the view If you are creating a new customized view, you can save it under its existing view name or under a new, unique name. If you specify the same view name as the original, the customized version is displayed whenever the view is accessed by your TSO user ID. The view that is distributed with your product is not altered, but only the modified version of the view is accessible to your user ID. If you are making changes to an existing customized view, specify the name of that view.
      Replace	Whether to replace the existing view file If you are making changes to an existing customized view, specify YES. If you specify NO, the existing customized view is not replaced and the save is canceled. If you are creating a new customized view, specify NO.
      Description	(Optional) A brief description of the view
      Dynamic fields	Whether the view has dynamic fields that you want to include For more information about dynamic fields, see the online Help.
      Summary View	Name of a summary view to associate with a tabular view For more information about summary views, see the online Help.
      Threshold Location	Whether threshold changes that you made should apply only to the customized view or to all views: VIEW (the default) saves the threshold changes only with the customized view in your BBVDEF library. CENTRAL saves the threshold changes in the PAS parameter library, BBPARM. The threshold and display attributes that you specified for the changed field will apply to all instances of this field in other views. Tip To use the same thresholds on multiple PASs, you can copy these members to the PAS parameter libraries if the PASs are the same release; restarting each PAS activates the thresholds. If the PASs are not the same release, you must logon to each PAS and use the CUSTom command to define the thresholds.
      View level	The level of the current view

   After saving your customized view, you can access it again by typing its name on the COMMAND line, or by using the USER command and selecting the view from the list of user-defined views.
