The 5250 style files contain the parameters that control the appearance and behavior of the 5250 emulation. These parameters determine session characteristics, printer information, display colors, key definitions, and audible signals. The style files also contain any macros that have been recorded.
The 5250 emulation program uses a hierarchy of style files:
The administration style file defines global settings for all users.
The user style file defines settings for just one user that supplement or override those in the administration style file.
This section describes:
How the different types of style file are used
The different style file permissions
How to specify which style file or files the emulation program should use
The information held in the style file
The text format of the style file
The 5250 style file records, and the parameters they contain
The 5250 emulation program uses two types of style files. The administration style file is usually set up by the System Administrator and contains basic settings for all users. If you wish to set up your own settings, you can do this by setting up your own user style file with any settings that are different from those specified in the administration style file. These two types of style files are described in more detail in the following sections.
The administration style file is a text format style file that is used if your System Administrator has specified it for you. This style file contains any changes that the System Administrator wishes to make to the default settings used by the emulation program. The System Administrator generally uses this style file to define settings for a group of users who have common requirements (for example, access to a particular AS/400 or application).
The user style file is a text format style file that you can specify on the command line if your System Administrator has configured permission for you to do so. You can only modify your user style file if you have appropriate permissions specified. (Style file permissions are described in Permissions to Use and Modify Style Files.)
The settings in the user style file override or add to the settings specified in the administration style file. The user style file is typically very small and may only contain one or two parameters for a specific session.
