Moving Between ASF Screens

When you have accessed an ASF screen, you can move to another screen in any of several ways.

Use the Menu

Select the function associated with the screen from the activity selection menu:

Press the appropriate PF-key.
Enter any character in the response field and press [Enter].
Type the PF-key number in the upper right corner of the screen and press [Enter].

Specify a Screen

Enter the screen name in the upper left corner of the screen.

You can always move directly to a screen by entering the screen name in the upper left corner, even if the screen is not listed in the activity selection menu.

Enter a character in the response field or press the PF-key.

Return

Once you have moved to a screen, you can:

Press [Clear] to return to the prior screen.
Press [PA1] to move to the Activity Selection screen.

Note: Moving forward to another screen causes changes on the current screen to be processed. Returning to the prior screen by pressing [Clear] does not process changes on the current screen.

The following table shows ASF screens and the four-character screen name that can always be used to move directly to the screen.

Note: You can review the screen names at any time during an ASF session by accessing the online Help facility (press [PF1]).
