Use a model-choice selection field to create an ISPF edit model selection menu. Model-choice fields are similar to single-choice or menu-choice fields. That is, the user can select only one of the choices presented. The entry field for this type of selection field is the command line, which is formatted with the word Option instead of Command. As with single-choice or menu-choice selections, you can specify a preselected choice so that one item is already selected when the panel is displayed.

The CHOICE tag is followed by an ACTION tag which specifies the type of selection (PANEL, PGM, CMD, or EXIT), and other attributes required by the ISPF SELECT service.

When creating an edit model menu, the MENU keyword is required on the PANEL tag. The SELFLD tag must specify TYPE=MODEL. Depending on the panel being created, the SELFLD tag attributes ENTWIDTH, FCHOICE, and TRAIL, and the CHOICE tag attributes SELCHAR, HIDEX, and TRUNC might be required. See Tag reference for more information about the PANEL, SELFLD, CHOICE, and ACTION tags.
