Options

The Object Handler provides the Options menu to invoke functions and/or activate (deactivate) modes and options. Note that the items on the Options menu do not apply to all Object Handler functions, and, therefore, may not be available on all Options menus. Additionally, the availability of items depends on the processing mode used (advanced user or wizards) and the status of function processing.

This section covers the following topics:


Settings

The Settings option invokes the Settings window where you can specify option settings for the unload, load or scan function and parameter settings for the unload or load function. For further information, see the section Settings.

Profile

This option is available in the Options menu in the Welcome to the Natural Object Handler window.

The Profile option invokes the SYSOBJH - Profile window where you can define an individual profile for your Object Handler utility. See also the section Profile Settings.

Advanced User

This option is available in the Options menu in the Welcome to the Natural Object Handler window.

The Advanced User option activates function processing in advanced-user mode as described in Advanced User in the section Functions.

Free Format Editing

With the Free Format Editing option activated, an edit area is supplied for creating a new Workplan: see New Workplan in Administration in the section Functions.

Details

This option only applies to functions executed in advanced-user mode.

The Details option activates the selection criteria specified in the appropriate Details window of objects to be processed. For further information, see the section Object Specification.

Single Objects

This option applies to the result lists generated by Object Handler functions in advanced-user mode. It does not apply to the scan function.

With the Single Objects option activated, source objects (Src) and cataloged objects (Gp) are listed in separate table rows.

Display Command

This option applies to functions executed in advanced-user mode. It does not apply to the view function.

With Display Command activated, the Object Handler command generated for a function is displayed before the function is executed. This provides you the option to cancel the operation. In addition, you can save the command as Workplan of the type PROCEDURE as described in the section Workplans.
