User Instructions

SHOWSCRN manages EZFORMAT screen files by displaying their contents and allowing modification with few additional keystrokes.

SHOWSCRN prompts for the location of the EZFORMAT files to be maintained, then presents a menu of available options. These options include: display the first, last, previous, or next file; display a list of all files in the library; delete a file; find a file by name; print a file; or edit a file (with EZFORMAT). This menu can be seen at any time by pressing (RETURN); another (RETURN) resumes display of the screen file. PF(16) returns to the library selection screen for a new library or to exit the program.

Programmer Instructions

Interactive use only.

COBOL source is available.

Example of use

Use to review and edit screen design files created by EZFORMAT.

Comments

The likeliest use for SHOWSCRN would be for management of EZFORMAT menu screens, but SHOWSCRN uses the COBOL option of EZFORMAT instead. This means that EZFORMAT will have to be run again manually with the MENU option to create the source file for the menu.
