Issue/Introduction

Able to change the Language type of some members to COB72 while can't change the Language type of the following members: 


|  MEMBER     RESULT     LVL USER  FM LANG STAT
V  ---------- ---------- --- ----- -  ----- ---
   KGMXXX                 55       T  COBOL TAE
   KGMYYY                 55       T  COBOL TAE

Environment

Release:
Component: PANVLT

Cause

Members with Format T or TSO once added to Panvalet cannot be reformatted to a non-TSO format.

The following Note is from the Format Command:
 

Note: You cannot change the TSO format characteristic of a member using this command. Once you ADD a member using TSO parameters, you cannot reformat it to non-TSO format. You can, however, create a new format member and COPY the TSO format member into it.

Resolution

Use the following steps to change the Format and Language type of a TSO formatted member:

1)  Go into the Edit function and on the  PVEDIT - ENTRY PANEL  put in a new Member name like KGMXXXC
2)  On the next panel PVEDIT(ADD) - MEMBER OPTIONS   specify  

LANG TYPE  ===> COB72
FORMAT     ===> Y

3)  This will open up a new member ready for input.  On the Command line enter :    copy kgmxxx
4)   Save it and PF3 back out to the main menu screen

5)  Go to 3 Utility and 1 - CA Panvalet Member Attribute Changes
6)  Go the Member Selection List.  You should now see the 2 members:

KGMXXX                 55       T  COBOL TAE
KGMXXXC                 1       Y  COB72 TAE

7)   Type L next to the new member and put 55 in the Level column

8)   Go back to Utility menu and go to 2 - CA Panvalet Member Manipulation
9)   Go the Member Selection List.  You should now see the 2 members:

KGMXXX                55       T  COBOL TAE
KGMXXXC               55       Y  COB72 TAE

10)   Delete KGMXXX
11)   Rename KGMXXXC to KGMXXX
