command to customize these features; however, the Config window provides a
more intuitive and easier method of making configuration changes.
Config Window, View 1 shows the portion of the Config window that is visible when you first open the window. You can perform various functions by using the Config window.
Changing border characters The Config window contains six fields that are used to select border characters: Top left, Top right, Horz border, Vert border, Bottom left, and Bottom right. These fields are shown with their default characters in Config Window, View 1. You can change any of the border characters by typing in a new character or its hexadecimal value according to the EBCDIC code sequence.

The fields that are used to control Source window context are shown in Config Window, View 1. The Border: field is used to enter the minimum number of lines that you would like to have displayed above and below the current line. If possible, the debugger maintains this minimum amount of contextual information within the Source window.
Allocating memory for window buffers The Command, Log, and Source windows each require buffer areas in memory. You specify the amount of memory to be allocated by typing the number of bytes at the Command:, Log:, or Source: prompts as shown in Config Window, View 1. Default and minimum allocation sizes are provided in MEMCMD Argument Values.
Selecting Log window trace line
As shown in the Log Window Trace On: field of Config Window, View 1, trace
lines are not displayed in the Log window by default. However, typing a Y
in this field selects trace lines. If they are active, trace
lines are displayed in the following cases:

Selecting window size, position, and borders The Window configuration and autopop status: fields, shown in Config Window, View 1, are used to select window size, position, and borders for each of the 15 windows. Each window has the following fields:
0

from the top to the bottom of the display.

, the window automatically becomes
the top window whenever output is sent to the window and it is at least partially
obscured by another window.
Changing window size, position, or border settings during a session has different effects depending on the type of window that is changed. The Dump and Print windows (class 4 windows, as described in window) that are already opened are not changed; however, any new appearances of these windows reflect the new settings.
All of the other windows (window classes 1 through 3 that are described in window) are automatically closed and reopened whenever window size, position, or border settings are changed. If a window is zoomed, it is zoomed when it is reopened.
Displaying borders requires additional display overhead on the part of the debugger and could result in exceeding the display limitations. These limitations are described in Number of Open Windows. If you add borders to the following (class 2 and 3) windows and the display limitations are exceeded, then the reopen will fail:
The following (class 1) windows are always reopened, even if the display limitations are exceeded:
However, if the display limitations are exceeded, these class 1 windows are opened without borders.
Selecting window color, attribute, and intensity Each of the 15 windows comprises a number of areas with display characteristics that can be controlled by the Config window. The number of areas varies from one to five depending on the window. Config Window, View 1 through Config Window, View 4 show the areas that can be controlled for each of the 15 windows.
For each window area, you can set the following window coloring characteristics:
