Clean up type (CLN_Ty) in Error Handler Layout (1) doesn’t provide enough details or (2) wasting spaces on Error hander layout

Hello,

Clean up type (CLN_Ty) can be set on he TWS error handler layout – see PIC1.

It can have 4 values: A (Automatic), I (immediate), M (Manual), N (None) – see PIC2.

This CLN_Ty uses 6 characters from the Layout.

I would like to suggest two/three tings to make this Column much more useful as it uses 6 characters, but the values displayed only in one character – or maybe this Column could be shorter to allow users to set other Columns to be displayed in their Layout.


1. provide more details about the Clean Up, and also the M and N very similar of each other which sometimes is very annoying, the values could be longer to use the 6 characters, so values could be:

Autom.

Immed.

Manual

None


2. if the CLN_Ty Column would be shorter, then we could add more Column into the Layout, so:

2(a): change this CLN_Ty to C so it would use only one character from the Layout, where it’s value can be the current one character long ones:

A, I, M or N

2(b): keep the CLN_Ty but create another Column with name C using one character from the Layout, and it’s value can be the current one character long ones

A, I, M or N

Fields displayed in ready and error lists

Please consider.


Also one more open question: are these kind of features can be implemented with a simple Patch (instead of waiting for the next big release?).


Many thanks.
