Designer's options

If the menu map is to be system-defined, the designer has the option of using one of the following menu formats:

• Short description menu map (ADSOMUR1) — The menu screen that lists 30 valid menu responses per page; a short (12-byte) textual description is displayed for each response.
• Long description menu map (ADSOMUR2) — The menu screen that lists 15 valid menu responses per page; a long (28-byte) textual description is displayed for each response name.
• Signon menu map (ADSOMSON) — The menu screen that requires a DC/UCF validation of user id and password before the menu request can be processed. The standard signon menu map can have 12 valid menu response names per page with 28 bytes of descriptive text displayed for each.

If none of the these menus meets the needs of the user, the system-defined menu map can be altered by the user or a new menu (designated as a menu/dialog function) can be formatted. Both methods of creating user-defined maps are discussed in the following sections.
