ISPF Return Function Restriction

The CA Disk ISPF support does not fully support the ISPF return or jump facility. Users can use the facility to go from CA Disk panels to non-CA Disk panels, but cannot specify multiple menu level numbers when entering CA Disk functions. For example, =8 and the <Enter key can be used to get to the CA Disk ISPF menu but = 4 cannot be used to get to a specific CA Disk ISPF function.

However, the ISPF command delimiter character can be used in place of the period. When the command delimiter character is a ";" , entering

=8;4;2

will select the fourth option of the condensed menu, then the second option from the selection menu.
