A parameter Menu entry allowed (MNUENT) on the Toolkit command Go to Menu (YGO), lets you specify whether direct menu calling is to be allowed during the menu display session: direct menu calling is the ability to call any menu in the current menu file member by name using the *GO facility, rather than by following a strict menu tree.
A user who is not allowed to call menus directly may only follow a hierarchical tree, that is, call menus that are explicitly set up as menu options on the menus. With hierarchical calling of menus, in the following diagram menus D and E can only be reached and left using menu B, just as menus F and G can only be reached using menu C. Menu H cannot be reached at all.
A user who is permitted direct menu calling may either follow a hierarchical tree, or at any time transfer to another named menu:
Only menus within the same menu file member as that of the menu currently being displayed may be called directly. To call a menu directly, you type in *GO, followed by the name of the menu which you want to display.
You will probably want to set up a separate menu file member for each user profile, user profile group, or both. This would permit users or user groups to move around their individuals freely, but only allow access to other menus belonging to other users on a strictly controlled basis.
You may combine restricted and unrestricted calls in the same menu tree.
