Changing Initial Cursor Placement on Menus

The cursor on CA Gen host menus can be placed initially at the command line (default) or at the choice entry field (the underscore next to the first entry on a menu).

Follow these steps:

1. From the Environment Specifications option, select 1 and press Enter.
2. Enter MENU in the cursor placement for menus field. Press Enter.

Note: Changing cursor placement applies only to CA Gen menu panels. If you want to use the extended selection feature (1.2.3), you must use command line placement. If you try to use extended selection with choice entry cursor placement, your path will truncate to a single option number. The procedures in this guide assume command line placement.
