Panel Control Statements

PSKIP
specifies whether you want panel skip requests to be satisfied. This option is valid
only for input fields. You can make a panel skip request by entering a field of the
form = m.m (. m.m …) in which m.m is a menu selection. NCL makes a panel skip to
the menu defined by m.m. If no menu is found to satisfy the menu selection, NCL
raises an error.
GMENU
specifies that you want NCL to scan the input field for a panel skip request
and, if valid, make the skip. The GMENU option allows you to skip to lower
level menus and does not require the preceding equal sign (=) as in the
PMENU option. If you do precede this option with an equal sign (=), you are
requesting a skip to the highest level menu.
NO
specifies that you want NCL to ignore this field for panel skip requests.
PMENU
specifies that you want NCL to scan the input field for a panel skip request
and, if valid, do the panel skip. Only fields that have a leading equal sign (=)
cause panel skip processing using the PMENU option.
Note If a panel skip is performed, NCL ignores all other user entries in the current panel.
RANGE=( min , max )
specifies the range of acceptable values for numeric input fields. Both min and
max must be specified. max must be equal to or greater than min . Use of this
operand forces EDIT=NUMERIC. NCL places the message NOT WITHIN
RANGE in the local &SYSMSG variable, if the entered number falls outside the
acceptable range and then raises an error; see #ERR.
min and max must be positive integers within the range 0 (zero) through 65535.
