CUA panels use standard graphic symbols that have special meanings. Some symbols indicate the type of action to take. For example, dots before list items mean, Select one item only from this list. Other symbols indicate that a special service is provided. For example, a plus sign (+) after an input field means that list selection is available from this field.
The following table shows the standard symbols used in CA Gen z/OS panels.
