Selection menu
Selection menus are displayed on one screen. They are used to enter 1 to 4 selection criteria to
identify an element concerned by subsequent processing. If you enter a valid value, a repetitive
menu opens.
Intermediate data entry menu
Intermediate data entry menus may or may not be repetitive. They are similar to terminal data
entry menus. They are used to enter any configuration data not entered in the selection menu, if
applicable. Repetitive commands are available in repetitive menus. The terminal menu is opened
by pressing the Return key.
Data entry menu
Data entry menus contain a maximum of 128 lines. They are displayed on a maximum of six
screens. They are used to enter all the data for an MMC. Entries are confirmed line by line.
You can only go to the next line if the field value on the current line is accepted. Otherwise, an
error message is displayed and the data must be entered again. However, you can quit an
incorrect field by confirming twice. In this case, the field is not modified. To quit this type of menu,
return to the previous menu. A data entry menu is a terminal menu.
Repetitive menu
This type of menu is similar to the previous type. All the details given for the data entry menu
apply.
You access this type of menu from a selection menu.
In repetitive menus, you can call up the next element or the previous element without returning to
the selection menu. Navigating through the selection screen is transparent for the user via the
"next" and "previous" commands. If you wish to make the same modification to all the selected
items, use the "repeat" command. If an error is detected during the repeat operation, a message
is displayed but the operation does not stop. Similarly, the "find" command can be used to define
a search criterion for the next or previous item. The criterion has the format: "Field i = Vi and
Field j = Vj and... etc."
The "listing" command is used to print out all the menus corresponding to the following items that
meet the criteria set with the "find" command. The "type" command is used to reduce the printout
for each item to a subset of lines in the menu. The "find" and "type" commands can be combined
to carry out a partial conditional printout.
Display menus
Display menus may contain more than five screens. Only fixed and display lines are allowed. A
menu of this type often contains the same block of lines repeated several times. The cursor
cannot be moved. only the next and previous screens are authorised. The purpose of this type of
menu is to display information and not to modify it. If preceded by a selection, this menu is of the
repetitive type, and the "N", "P", and "L" commands are available.
