ENTRY

This parameter provides the user with multiple entry points to the specified model. Values for this parameter are described in the following:

*EDTDBREL—(default) The first panel to be accessed is the Edit Database Relations panel.
*EDTMDLLST—The mode of entry to the model is via the Edit Model List panel. If this value is specified, the MDLLST parameter specifies the model list that is edited.
*SERVICES—The services menu is the first panel to be accessed.
*NONE—This option can be used to establish a model environment but without any particular entry to the model. In this case the model environment is started and the developer is presented with the Command Entry panel. Numerous commands require the model environment to be active and will check to ensure that it is active when invoked. These commands will adopt an already active environment. Thus, if a series of commands are run, it will be more efficient to use this option before executing such commands. Another advantage of this option is that the lock applied to the model is established for the entire session, preventing interference by another developer.
