Reformat the System-Defined Menu

The existing system-designed menu map can be reformatted and regenerated, retaining the same name. This method has the advantage of allowing the developer to use the standard menu function rather than designing and using a menu/dialog function.

To reformat the system menu

  1. Obtain the source for the map being used (that is, ASDSOMUR1, ADSOMUR2, or ADSOMSON) from the source data sets created when the distribution tape was installed. The maps are stored as members under their own names.
  2. Use the batch mapping compiler to store the source in the dictionary.
  3. Use the online mapping facility to modify and regenerate the menu map.
