how to make the entire screen protected. i.e., for example
when we design a delete screen before deleting the details
we need to popup a screen saying do u wish to delete(Y/N).
When this screen appears i want to make the previous screen
fields as protected.Please help me with the anser. i need
the entire screen to be protected.

Thanks in advance

Answer Posted / lenin

I am not sure how to make the entire screen as protected by
a single statement. But we can protect the fields
individully by moving the user defined value to the
attribute field of the fields.

Attribute byte is a 1 byte field, in which the third bit
indicates whether it is protected(1) or unprotected (0) and
for all other fields we can give any of 0 or 1

For Ex: 00100101 ---- if this value is in attribute byte
then the filed is protected we can say, as the third bit is
1.

The decimal value of it(00100101) is 37.

The following program will show you how to move this value
to the attribute byte of the map fields.

01 fiel1 pic s9(4) comp value 37.

01 fiel2 redefines fiel1.
02 a pic x.
02 b pic x.

Move b to nameA. // name field will be protected.

Like this we move b to all the unproteceted fields on the
screen.

Please correct me if i am wrong and provide me the correct
soultion....

how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated? Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map gets treated? Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map should be constant? How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with 5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O. For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA, EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map. Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct me if I am wrong.
