Layout Display Columns

The Layout display is identical to that of the Watch Data, Auto Data, and Session Data views. The Layout display provides details about the selected field in a tabular format:

• Variable name

  Specifies the name of the variable. If the variable is a group item, you can click the Expand or Collapse icon to the left of the variable name.

• Display value

  Shows the display value for the field. The data description in the program dictates the format of the value. If the field is a group item, then you will not see any display value rather you will see a message stating that this field is a group item.

  When there is an actual value, you can edit it using one of the following ways:

  • To directly modify a value, click the row, you want to modify and type the new value. When you click anywhere in the dialog or use the tab key to move to another cell, the changes made to the selected occurrence will be automatically updated.
  • To modify a value using the Data View Value dialog, see Data View Dialogs.
• Hex value

  Shows the hex value for the field. When the field is not a group item, you can directly modify a value. Click the row, you want to modify and type the new value. To exit, click anywhere in the dialog or use the tab key to move to another cell. You can also use the left and right arrow keys to help position the cursor.

  You can modify this field by double-clicking anywhere on the row in the display. The Data View Value dialog opens. To modify a value using the Data View Value dialog, see Data View Dialogs.

• Properties

  Shows additional information about the variable, such as length and COBOL or PL/I picture, and dimensions if the field is an array.

Note: If data monitoring is in effect then you will not be able to modify the data values when you navigate the trace table.
