Screen Heading Information
System information is contained in the first 32 characters of the first line of every Ispec
screen, and is also included in the Auto Entry buffer.
This information is contained in a number of System Data items and can be accessed
through these items, which are listed in the following table.
Description Name Length Edit type
Ispec name ISPEC 5 A
Message Type GLB.SOURCE 1 A
Transaction reference number TRANNO 6 N
System input date INPUT-DATE 7 A
Accounting period ACTMTH 4 N
Maintenance type MAINT 3 A
In Events, the System Data items TRANNO, INPUT-DATE, and ACTMTH are included in
the LINC database record.
The System Data item MAINT appears only for Standard, Table, Direct, or Multiple
Ordinate Memo Components. When moving values to MAINT you should use GLB.ADD,
GLB.CHG, and so on (instead of literals ADD, CHG, and so on). The full list of these
System Data items is described in the subsection on the MAINT System Data item later in
this section.
