Using TCF › Exiting from TCF

Exiting from TCF

Exiting from TCF returns control to the DC/UCF system. You can exit from either of the following locations:

• From the Selection Screen, as discussed in TCF Selection Screen chapter.
• From a development tool under TCF, by using the SWITCH command as discussed in SWITCH.

Suspending or Terminating TCF When You Exit

You can either suspend or terminate TCF when you exit. Decide whether to suspend or terminate TCF as follows:

• Suspend TCF to save your current list of suspended development tool sessions. Your list will be available the next time you invoke TCF.

  You can resume any of your suspended sessions by selecting the session from your list of suspended sessions (while under TCF). You can also resume any suspended session by invoking the appropriate development tool (while under TCF or directly from DC/UCF) and specifying the name of the definition being created in the suspended session.

• Terminate TCF to clear your current list of suspended development tool sessions. Your suspended sessions are not affected by this action.

  You can resume any of your suspended sessions by invoking the appropriate development tool (while under TCF or directly from DC/UCF) and specifying the name of the definition being created.

Exiting from TCF to the DC/UCF System

You can exit to the DC/UCF system from the Selection Screen or directly from a development tool. If the user suspends TCF on exit, TCF saves the user's list of suspended development tool sessions. If the user terminates TCF on exit, TCF clears the user's list of suspended development tool sessions. In both cases, the actual suspended development tool sessions are saved.

The following diagram shows what happens when you exit from TCF.
