Panel with )MODEL and trailer lines

Marso · Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:21 pm

Hello,

To display a table, I have a panel with )MODEL lines and I use TBDISPL.
Everything works fine, but now I would like to leave a static area at the bottom of the screen to show some text (a little bit like the PFSHOW lines, but with my own text).

Somebody have any idea ?

ISPF did not like the idea

If I could limit the number of lines in the panel, then I could display my lines in the background.
But the )MODEL lines always expand till the bottom of the screen.

I tried:
)BODY WINDOW(80,20)
It works for the body only, it doesn't count the )MODEL lines

hy Marso,

actually this is not possible using )MODEL,
you just can try to define any dynamic area...
but this is a little bit complex because you have
to deal with all the area yourself.

I noticed a mistake with my original response. When I was looking at the section in the ISPF Dialog guide concerning tables, I thought it had stated that you could code multiple )MODEL definitions in your panel. Actually, it says that in your one )MODEL section you can have multiple model rows.
