Using the jump function z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I SC19-3627-00 |
|
The jump function allows you to go directly to any valid option
from the primary option menu currently in effect. See z/OS ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide and Reference for
information about coding primary option menus. To use the jump function,
enter the option on the command line or in the command field of any
panel, preceded by an equal sign and followed by a blank. For example:
takes
you directly to the first suboption of option 3 on the primary option
menu in effect.The action is as follows:
For convenience, you can enter a jump function in two other places:
The command field is the only field that can be initialized to =n by the dialog and have the jump function recognize it. Modifying the ZCMD field in the )PROC or )INIT section can affect jump function operation. If ISPF encounters an error during jump function processing, the processing stops with the jump function in error displayed on the command line, unless that function was entered from a nondisplay field. Because a jump request generally signals a user's desire to end the current processing, the dialog developer must limit processing to cleaning up and completing processing before returning control to the selection in the jump request. Otherwise, the dialog developer can cancel the jump request/return mode by providing two consecutive displays with the same panel name. The jump function can be entered with the RETURN command or RETURN function key. For example, you type =2 and then press the RETURN function key rather than pressing Enter. The result is the same as if you had typed =2 and pressed Enter. |
