Column Description
Opt Specifies the number of the task in the
Opt
prompt beside the PFD
definition you want to perform the task with.
You can type the same option next to more than one PFD definition at
a time, and you can also type different options next to different PFD
definitions at the same time.
PFD definition Shows a list of all the PFD definitions in the specified file that meet the
subset criteria. You can use the top position in the list to type a PFD
definition you want to create or select another option.

Showing a PFD Definition List
The PFD definitions can be listed on the lower part of the display by specifying the
Library
prompt and
File
prompt. When you want to change the content of the list,
specify the name of a file and library, and press the Enter key. You can page up or
down the list on the display by specifying the starting characters in the
Position to
prompt.
Note: When you specify any of the
PFD Definition
prompt,
File
prompt, and
Library
prompt, you can not specify the
Opt
column.
Selecting a PFD Definition from a List
The list on the display contains the names of all or specified subset of the PFD
definitions that exist in the PFD definition file indicated by the
File
prompt. The text
that describes the PFD definitions and the date of the last change to the PFD
definition are also shown in the list.
When a list is shown, a one-word indicator always appears below and to the right
of the list to tell you where you are in the list. More... means that there are more
items after the item currently shown. Bottom means that you are at the end of the
list.
Use the Page or Roll keys to move forward or backward through the list.
If you are creating a PFD definition, you can check this list to see what names are
already used before you choose a new name. You can create a PFD definition by
typing 1 and a PFD definition name in the first list position, and you can select
other PFD definitions from the list using any of the options except 1 (Create).
Therefore, you can select one or more names by doing one or both of the following:
In the
Opt
column beside the PFD definition name in the list that you want to
use, type the number of the option (task) to be used.
In only the first (top) position of the list, type an option number (for the task),
and a PFD definition name in the
Opt
and
PFD Definition
columns respectively.
Note: You can create a PFD definition by specifying the new PFD definition name
on this display, but you can not create a PFD definition file from this display. Use
the Work with PFD Definition Files display to create a PFD definition file. If you do
