Changing Display Options
SAFECOM provides a DISPLAY command that allows you to customize your
SAFECOM prompt and to control various INFO command options during an interactive
session. With the DISPLAY command, you can perform the following actions to alter
the characteristics of the INFO command report:
•
Turn warning messages on and off
•
Turn column headings on and off
•
Set the DETAIL option of the INFO command on or off for an entire session
•
Identify users by either user IDs or user names
•
Display the output of an INFO command as SAFECOM commands
Table 8-1 lists the DISPLAY command options. The examples in this section illustrate
the use of these options. For additional details regarding the DISPLAY command, see
the Safeguard Reference Manual.
You can use the ENV command at any time during a SAFECOM session to check the
current state of the DISPLAY options.
Editing Your SAFECOM Prompt
The standard SAFECOM prompt is an equal sign (=). With the DISPLAY PROMPT
command, you can specify text or predefined items to be included in your SAFECOM
prompt. For example, a typical item you might want to include in your SAFECOM
prompt is the current command line number.
Like the other DISPLAY commands described in this section, DISPLAY PROMPT
remains in effect only during your current session. When you exit SAFECOM, the
custom prompt is cleared and replaced by the standard SAFECOM prompt.
Table 8-2 lists the prompt items you can specify in a DISPLAY PROMPT command.
