*SCRUPD Display WRTRD Output

*SCRUPD Screen Update. WRTRD messages requesting the next input are suppressed when running CFS procedures. For example, the CFS masks in which the user provides input in dialog are not displayed. The *SCRUPD statement allows the mask for the next WRTRD message to be displayed. *SCRUPD causes the message (mask) that requests the next input to be displayed on the screen with WROUT.

*SCRUPD may not occur before a *002 statement.

The *SCRUPD statement can be used, for example, when the commands in a CFS procedure may be amended by the user before the commands are executed (see the *STEP statement below). By displaying the mask, the user will be informed on which file or library element the suggested command will act.
