Initial Programs and Menus

The following principles should be applied when setting up user environments:

• User systems should be menu driven, with Help text available for each interactive option.
• Wherever possible, the CA 2E Toolkit Go to Menu (YGO) command should be used to provide menus. In this way, menus can be easily changed or updated. In addition, advanced functions can be provided in all menus, such as Help text, direct menu calling, and command request entry.
• The CA 2E Toolkit User Access system should be used where possible to gain entry to the menu program. This requires that user profiles are created or changed with the CA 2E Toolkit Create User Profile (YCRTUSRPRF) command.
• The CA 2E Toolkit Initial Program (YINLPGM) command should be used as the initial program for user profiles to:
  • Set the library list using a CA 2E Toolkit stored list
  • Set the message queue to break
  • Display an initial menu

For more information on the YINLPGM command, refer to the Toolkit Concepts Guide.
