Function keys can also be used to exit from CA OLQ. Function keys for CA OLQ are defined at system generation time and can vary from site to site.

When you exit from CA OLQ, TCF suspends or terminates your CA OLQ session and transfers control as described in the following table. The contents of a suspended CA OLQ session are kept in a scratch record and saved until you sign off from the DC/UCF system.

Note: You can have a maximum of one suspended CA OLQ session. For example, you can resume but not start a new CA OLQ session if you already have a suspended CA OLQ command mode or menu facility session.

Transferring from CA OLQ

The way your current CA OLQ session ends and TCF transfers control on exit depends on the exit method you use, as described in the following table.
