Menu Sequence - Program Diskette Tasks
The PROGRAM DISKETTE TASKS Menu sequence is used when the operator wants to change the system defaults or maintain a program diskette. To make the changes to a program diskette defaults effective, the operator must remove the program diskette, IPL the system and the reload the program diskette.
The Displaywriter System has two for-mat defaults, the document format default and the alternate document format default. These defaults permit the operator to do several types of applications with minimal format changes. For example, for jobs that have tables or charts and require a tab grid of decimal tabs or flush right tabs, the alternate document format defaults can be used.
