Endevor not using the default values specified in ENDICNFG

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

We have an option set as Y in the ENDICNFG table but when an element is retrieved the option defaults to N

               SIGNOUT_ELEMENT=Y,                                      X
 
Why is this?

Resolution

The ENDICNFG table is used to set the default value on a screen *IF* your Endevor ISPF profile does not already have a value for the field saved. 

 

Endevor will first look at your Endevor ISPF profile and see if you have a value for the field already saved. 

• If it does, then Endevor uses that value and doesn't even look at ENDICNFG
• If it does not, then Endevor uses the value specified in the ENDICNFG table.

 

If you want to check your ENDICNFG changes:

1. Rename the CTLIPROF member in  your.ISPF.ISPPROF library
2. Log into Endevor and check the values on the screen.

 

Once you are done testing -

1. Delete the newly created CTLIPROF member in  your.ISPF.ISPPROF library
2. Rename your original CTLIPROF back to get all your previously saved values back.
