Exiting from Development Tools

You can exit from ADSA, ADSC, MAPC, or the IDD menu facility at any time during a definition session. Exit methods available for these development tools include those listed below:

• The SWITCH command (under TCF only) allows you to save the definition currently in progress when you exit from a development tool.

  You can use SWITCH to:

  • Transfer to another development tool as described above in Invoking Development Tools.
  • Exit directly to DC/UCF:
    • From ADSA, ADSC, or MAPC, specify the SUSPEND keyword after the SWITCH TASK activity at the bottom of the screen:

      x SWITCH TASK: suspend [Enter]

    • From IDD, type the SUSPEND keyword after the SWITCH command in the command area at the top of the screen:

      switch suspend [Enter]

    For more information on using the SWITCH command, refer to CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide.

• The [PF3] key takes you backward through definition screens until you exit from the tool.

In IDD, the SUSPEND and QUIT commands allow you to exit. You type SUSPEND in the screen's command area. Neither SWITCH nor QUIT allows you to specify a task code (for example, IDDMT) or any keywords (for example, the SUSPEND keyword).
