Restart and Reset (for Character-Based Applications Only)

If you wish to return to a business system after an interruption, you have two options. You can resume the dialog where it was interrupted by using your Profile database stack for the business system (RESTART). Or, you can start the dialog at the beginning by clearing the existing stack (RESET).

To resume the dialog, clear the screen and enter any transaction code for the business system followed by the word RESTART. The format is:

<trancode> RESTART

If the clear screen default command specified for the target environment is RESTART, simply enter the transaction code.

The Profile Manager displays the screen that was active, and all data that was present, when the dialog was interrupted. (The screen and data are taken from the top entry of the stack.) The top entry is always the last screen active for the business system, regardless of the transaction code entered. At this point, you may continue the dialog as if it had never been interrupted.

If you prefer to start the original dialog from the beginning, enter the clear screen transaction code for the procedure step you wish to execute followed by the word RESET. The format is:

<trancode> RESET

If the clear screen default command specified for the target environment is RESET, simply enter the transaction code. This clears the stack and begins the dialog.
