From the main screen, you can use the File menu to open, create, and save style files.
You can open any style file and apply its customization parameters to 3270 emulation. If you do not choose a style file, the 3270 emulation program implements its default settings.
Follow these steps to open a style file:
Disable any enabled or active sessions. You can open a style file only when no sessions are enabled. For instructions for disabling sessions, see Controlling 3270 Emulation.
Save any changes to the current style file if you already have a style file open and want to keep the changes. For instructions for saving customization changes to a style file, see Saving a Style File.
From the File menu, choose Open.
In the Open Style File dialog box, enter the name of the style file you want to open. Do not include the .stu extension; it is added automatically. If the file is not in the current directory, also enter the correct directory path.
If the program cannot find the style file you specified, an error message is displayed. Choose <Exit Message> to acknowledge the message, verify the name of your style file, and reenter it.
Choose <OK> to open the specified file.
Session IDs specified in a style file take effect only if the 3270 emulation program is started using that style file (either by default or by specifying it on the command line). If you open a style file from the File menu, and the file includes session IDs that are not in the style file that was used when starting the 3270 emulation program, the new session IDs do not take effect immediately. A message is displayed, reminding you to stop the 3270 emulation program and restart it using this style file if you need to use the session IDs. (For more information about session IDs, see Customizing Display Sessions.)
You have the following options:
To save the changes and then open the new file, choose <Yes>.
To open the new file without saving the changes, choose <No>.
To continue using the current style file, choose <Cancel>.
Follow these steps to create a style file:
From the File menu, choose New. The message
Style file : new fileis displayed on the main screen. (You will specify a name for the file when you save it.)
Use the menu options under the Customize menu to customize your 3270 emulation, and then follow the directions under Saving a Style File, to save the options you set in a style file. For instructions for customizing 3270 emulation options, see Setting Customization Options.
If you change the current style file and then attempt to create a style file before you save the changes, the Save Style File dialog box is displayed. You have the same options to save the changes, abandon the changes, or continue with the current style file.
In the character-based program, you may also see a message indicating that some of your sessions are configured to use a screen model that your terminal cannot support (for example, if a session is configured for Model 3, which uses a 32 x 80 screen, and your terminal has a 24 x 80 screen). You may be able to change the screen model if your System Administrator has permitted this; see Customizing Display Sessions. Otherwise, you can use the sessions for file transfer or HLLAPI applications, but you cannot use them for 3270 emulation.
To save any changes you make to the current style file choose Save from the File menu.
If you choose Save to save changes made after you have chosen New from the File menu, the Save Style File As dialog box is displayed.
Follow these steps to save the current style file under a different name, or to save a new style:
From the File menu, choose Save as. If you are saving a new style, choose either Save or Save as.
Type a style file name in the Save Style File Message Box. The program adds the extension .stu; you do not need to type this.
If you are saving the file to a directory other than the current directory, type the name of that directory.
