SENDLIST.STATIC (SLSTA)
SENDLIST.STATIC (SLSTA)
The SENDLIST.STATIC; command enables PowerClient users to use specific Ispec data
item list boxes whose values are created by a host LINC System. This command is
designed to be used with PowerClient (Designer Workbench). The use of this command
with NOF is also supported.
In a Report, you can create a file of list box items by using the EXTRACT; command and
then name the file by using the SENDLIST.STATIC; command. When an Ispec screen is
displayed in PowerClient, a data item that has the LISTBOX; Data Attribute is displayed as
a static list box containing the data downloaded by the SENDLIST.STATIC; command.
The first time each user accesses the file, it is downloaded.
About List Boxes
For a description of the types of list boxes, see ‘‘About List Boxes’’ under
‘‘SENDLIST.DYNAMIC (SLDYN)’’, earlier in this section.
You can modify the format, size and location of the list box when you are using
PowerClient during the screen design process.
Availability of the Command
The SENDLIST.STATIC; command is not available with OLTP.
For MCP Based LINC Systems
For Reports run from a NOF terminal or program for an MCP based LINC System, the
SENDLIST.STATIC; command sends data to the NOF terminal or program. Otherwise, the
data is submitted to the Workstation Driver Program (WDP).
For Ispecs in an MCP based LINC System, executing the SENDLIST.STATIC; command
from a T27 style, IBM 3270 or OLTP terminal is ignored unless contained in the System
Global Logic STARTUP (in which case the data is submitted to WDP). NOF input results in
the data being sent to the NOF terminal or program.
For OS 2200 Based LINC Systems
For OS 2200 based LINC Systems, the SENDLIST.STATIC; command has an effect only in
Ispecs or Reports initiated by a PowerClient station, or in standalone Reports.
For UNIX LINC Systems
For UNIX LINC Systems, the SENDLIST.STATIC; command has an effect only in Ispecs or
Reports initiated by a PowerClient station, or in standalone Reports.
