Subject – Adding an "Inquiry" mode to existing maintenance programs.

Chances are you know of some applications that should be accessed in an inquiry only mode for some users, but you do not have an inquiry program or the time to write one. If so there is a fairly easy way to change your maintenance screens to also respond as inquiry screens.

First add a new record to your DSPF with these keywords.

AN01N02N03T.Name++++++RLen++TDpBLinPosFunctions++++++++++++++++

    A    R SCREEN1

    A                             OVERLAY

    A                             PROTECT

    A                             CLRL(*NO)

 
Now if you want to protect any maintenance screen just WRITE the maintenance screen and then EXFMT the blank record format created above. This will lock all input capable fields.
