We mentioned in Panel hierarchies that options are linked to a main menu panel. If you are in one option of a main menu panel and want to go directly to another option on the same main menu panel, you can enter an equal sign and the other option number on any data entry field. You then see the other option without having to choose it from the main menu panel. Thus if you were in the UTILITIES option of the ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu (option 3) and wanted to edit a data set (option 2), enter in any field on the Data Set Utility panel =2.

-------------------------------  DATA SET UTILITY  -----------------------------
OPTION ===>

    A - Allocate new data set                 C - Catalog data set
    R - Rename entire data set                U - Uncatalog data set
    D - Delete entire data set                S - Data set information (short)
    blank - Data set information

ISPF LIBRARY:
    PROJECT ===>
    GROUP   ===>  =2
    TYPE    ===>

OTHER PARTITIONED OR SEQUENTIAL DATA SET:
    DATA SET NAME ===>
    VOLUME SERIAL ===>          (If not cataloged, required for option "C")

DATA SET PASSWORD ===>          (If password protected)

You then see the first edit panel on which you can specify the name of the data set you want to edit.
