    The l3pdffield-choice module Commands to create choice fields LATEX PDF management testphase bundle The LATEX Project∗ Version 0.95i, released 2021-08-28 1 l3pdffield-choice Introduction This is the documentation for choice fields, for general information about form fields check the documentation l3pdffield. Please keep in mind • Not every PDF viewer supports choice field. • The handling can depend on settings in the PDF viewer. In adobe reader for example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance itself • Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too (as you typically can’t change the PDF). 2 Choice fields Choice fields are drop down menus or scrollable lists where the user can selectoneor more entries. They can also contain a field where users can insert a free text. The export value and the displayed value can differ. Some values can be preselected. This means that various data will have to be set, and the sorting matters. The module here will assume that the various values are stored in sequences: checkifexportoraltname... Only the first sequence is required. Empty values in the display sequence are possible, then the normal value is used. 2.1 Types Choice fields can be a drop down menu (called Combo), which can contain an editable field. setfieldflags={Combo,Edit} or setfieldflags={Combo} If Edit is set, one can also set DoNotSpellCheck. Or they can be a list. ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 unsetfieldflags={Combo,Edit,DoNotSpellCheck} For both types it is possible to set or unset MultiSelect and CommitOnSelChange.

  • Delimit — Change Delimiter
    Title stata.com #delimit — Change delimiter Description Syntax Remarks and examples Also see Description The #delimit command resets the character that marks the end of a command. It can be used only in do-files or ado-files. Syntax #delimit cr j ; Remarks and examples stata.com #delimit (pronounced pound-delimit) is a Stata preprocessor command. #commands do not generate a return code, nor do they generate ordinary Stata errors. The only error message associated with #commands is “unrecognized #command”. Commands given from the console are always executed when you press the Enter, or Return, key. #delimit cannot be used interactively, so you cannot change Stata’s interactive behavior. Commands in a do-file, however, may be delimited with a carriage return or a semicolon. When a do-file begins, the delimiter is a carriage return. The command ‘#delimit ;’ changes the delimiter to a semicolon. To restore the carriage return delimiter inside a file, use #delimit cr. When a do-file begins execution, the delimiter is automatically set to carriage return, even if it was called from another do-file that set the delimiter to semicolon. Also, the current do-file need not worry about restoring the delimiter to what it was because Stata will do that automatically. Example 1 /* When the do-file begins, the delimiter is carriage return: */ use basedata, clear /* The last command loaded our data. Let's now change the delimiter: */ #delimit ; summarize sex salary ; /* Because the delimiter is semicolon, it does not matter that our command took two lines. We can change the delimiter back: */ 1 2 #delimit — Change delimiter #delimit cr summarize sex salary /* Now our lines once again end on return.

  • 16520: Application Development for Z/OS - Not Your Father's Green Screen
    16520: Application Development for z/OS - Not your Father's Green Screen Rosalind Radcliffe Distinguished Engineer, IBM Academy of Technology Member IBM Corporation [email protected] @RosalindRad Insert Custom Session QR if Desired. Abstract Ask most people how they write and maintain applications on z/OS and you hear "oh, you use this thing called a green screen" followed by a chuckle. In reality, application development for zEnterprise applications has been transformed over the past several years to the point where application developers enjoy the same or better features from integrated development environments as programmers who work on other platforms. Advances in remote system communication and interaction, syntax- highlighting, parsing, and code understanding for Assembler, PL/I, C/C++, and COBOL source code, as well as programming assists such as code snippets and templates are all available to application programmers. Interactive debug of applications, written in multiple programming languages and running in various runtime environments is also possible and can greatly boost programmer productivity. Come and learn about how these features can enable application developers who are new to the mainframe to interact with, update, and efficiently enhance mainframe applications. 16721: Decision Management: Making the Right Change, at the Right Time 3/4/15 3 IBM DevOps point of view Enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables organizations to seize market opportunities and reduce time to customer feedback Continuous

  • Mainframe to Enterprise to the Is Curriculum
    https://doi.org/10.48009/2_iis_2012_182-192 Issues in Information Systems Volume 13, Issue 2, pp. 182-192, 2012 MAINFRAME TO ENTERPRISE TO THE IS CURRICULUM Joseph Packy Laverty, Robert Morris University, [email protected] Frederick G. Kohun, Robert Morris University, [email protected] John Turchek, Robert Morris University, [email protected] David Wood, Robert Morris University, [email protected] Daniel Rota, Robert Morris University, [email protected] ABSTRACT Over the decades the concept of a mainframe has been synonymous to IBM operating systems and the COBOL programming language. While object-orientated programming languages, web interface transaction systems, web services, distributed services, and mobile application topics are frequently included in the IS/CS curriculum, this paper considers the inclusion of IBM Enterprise Systems. IBM zEnterprise has evolved into an integrated, scalable, enterprise system which supports legacy applications, open-source applications and tools, DB2, Cognos, SPSS, data mining and Rational project management tools. The growth and market penetration of IBM zEnterprise has been spectacular. This evolution of IBM Enterprise Systems provides many opportunities for IS/CS majors. A case study implementing the IBM Academic Initiative in an ABET-CAC curriculum is presented. KEYWORDS: IBM Academic Initiative, IS Curriculum, IBM zEnterprise, ABET-CAC, z/OS, COBOL, CICS, DB2, Open Source, Rational Application Developer for Z Systems, Robert Morris University, Marist College INTRODUCTION Over the decades the concept of a mainframe has been synonymous to IBM operating systems and the COBOL programming language [1]. In recent years, computer hardware evolved in various directions, e.g., desktop, blade servers, super computers and mobile devices.
