How do I edit the Spooled File Rule Option parameter field?

When editing a Spooled File Monitor Rule the Option parameters field can overflow. Here is a screen shot of an example:


                       Change spooled file rule (CHGSPLRUL)                     
                                                                               
 Type choices, press Enter.

   To . . . . . . . . . . . . . .                 1-999999999, *MAX            
 Rule priority  . . . . . . . . .   200           1-9999, *SAME                
 Option . . . . . . . . . . . . .   21            Character value, *SELECT...

 Text 'description' . . . . . . .   *BLANK    


 

As you can see the 'Option parameter' field is full and does not show the complete list of parameter values.

A common question is "How do I edit the Option parameter field?"

To edit all of the 'option parameters' field:
1. Position the cursor at the first character of the Option parameter field.
2. Type *PROMPT
3. clear the remainder of the Option parameter field by pressing the FIELD EXIT key or DELETE.
