Default Formats by Format Code (ttaad1108s000)

Use this session to maintain the display format for format codes, where the format does not depend on a generic unit.

You can zoom to the Convert to Runtime DD (ttams2201m000) session to convert the changes to the runtime data dictionary. The file datecurr in the BSE/lib directory will be (re)built. After this you must restart the bshell to make the changes active at runtime.

The display formats for each unit can be defined using the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session.
