Panel Groups are created from source written in the UIM tag language (for further details on this language, refer to the IBM supplied Guide to Programming Application and Help Displays). LANSA creates this source from the help text entered through the LANSA facilities. When using UIM help panels with LANSA, some special considerations apply and these are listed in 2.14.11 Help Text Considerations when using Panel Groups.

To enable the use of Panel Groups in LANSA, the text string '*UIMHELP' should be entered in data area DC@OSVEROP. Further details on this data area and its use are in the Version Dependency Data Area DC@OSVEROP. Setting the string '*UIMHELP' in DC@OSVEROP causes LANSA to:

  • Prompt for the creation of Panel Groups after exit from SEU during a help text edit session.
  • Compile processes and functions in a way that they use Panel Groups for help text when executed later. This includes Field, Function, and Process level help text.
  • Cause export and import jobs to include help text Panel Groups, if they exist, for the objects included in the export list.
