If you get Screen def not found message


If you select a product from the MainView Selection Menu panel and get a screen similar to the one shown in the following figure, MainView is probably trying to display a screen definition that does not exist.

DDMMMYYYY HH:MM:SS-MAINVIEW WINDOW INTERFACE(Vv.r.mm)MVMVS-SCREEN DEF NOT FOUND
COMMAND  ===>                                                   SCROLL ===> PAGE
CURR WIN ===> 1        ALT WIN ===>                                             
T1 ==============================================================================

To verify that a screen does not exist

  1. On the COMMAND line, type MVP to display the MainView Parameter Editors menu.
  2. Select Option 2 - DISPLAY.
  3. Note the screen definition name that appears in the Initial screen field.The problem is that none of the data sets allocated to the DD name BBSDEF contain a member by this name. (BBSDEF was established during customization. It is the DD name for your screen definition library.)

    There are three ways to solve this problem:

    • Create a screen definition by the same name that is shown in the Initial screen field.
    • Make the Initial screen field blank. If you select this method, the MAIN view is displayed by default.
    • As a third method, you can also display a customized screen definition for each MainView product upon initialization. To do so, create a screen definition by the same name as the product that you are trying to initialize, as shown in the following table:

    For this product

    Name the screen definition

    MainView for z/OS

    MVMVS

    CMF MONITOR

    CMF

    Plex Manager

    PLEXMGR

    Specify this screen definition name in the Initial screen field.
