User Instructions

The program allows the user to set the default document library and glossary for their workstation. Similar to the 'Set Workstation Options' function on the VS/IIS utility menu, but can be run outside of Word Processing. The program may also be run from a procedure.

The DEFAULT screen shows the current values associated with that workstation. Enter any changes and press (RETURN) to continue; the program will end after changing the defaults.

Programmer Instructions

A program to control the user's Word Processing defaults without entering Word Processing. Values default to the current parameters for the workstation.

The program consists of a single GETPARM screen.

DEFAULT     Press (RETURN) to continue, PF(16) to exit
            without setting defaults.

  LIBRARY   (current)   The default WP library and glossary
  GLOSSARY  (current)   for that user.  Extracted from
                        current values.

Example of use

Designed to allow WP workstation defaults to be set from a program or procedure. For example, a procedure could be written that reset WP defaults depending on which user is logging onto that terminal; thus, several users could share a terminal and still have the correct document library and glossary defaults whenever they used the terminal.

Comments

Handy, but would be even more helpful if it allowed defaults from other workstations to be reset as well.
