The Menu/Assist Mode of CA IDMS DMLO provides a more structured environment which can relieve the less experienced CA IDMS user of needing detailed knowledge of CA IDMS DML syntax.
The initial Menu/Assist Mode screen is displayed when you enter the SET MENU ON command, or when you specify this option on the OPTIONS screen. This screen contains installation-defined instructional messages in the data display area.
After entry of the first command in Menu Mode, the upper portion of the screen becomes a data display and entry area.
You may switch back and forth between Menu/Assist Mode and "Expert" Mode as desired using the SET MENU OFF/ON command or the Options screen (by using the SHOW OPTIONS command).
You have selected the "MENU/ASSIST" mode of DML/O. Please note the following : ►► All DML and DML/O commands will continue to be recognized ►► Shorthand commands are now possible. Each command consists of a code (formed by concatenating parenthesized letters) and one or subschema entities. ►► Notation for subschema entities is as follows: R = record S = set A = area K = dbkey F = sortfield <R> => record is optional S/A => either set or area is required ►► If a name is not known, entering ?R, ?S, ?A will display a selection list. ►► Any abbreviations entered via EQUATE commands commands will be honored. ►► Entity variables &R, &S, &A will be honored. ►► For example, the DML command OBTAIN FIRST EMPLOYEE WITHIN EMPLOYEE-AREA could be entered as OF EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE-AREA -or- OF EMPLOYEE &A DML/O Rnn.nn ================ ERROR STATUS : 0000 ================== CA, INC. *-------- (O)BTAIN / (F)IND ────────* (C)ALC R (F)IRST <R> S/A (E)RASE (A)LL R (FIN)ISH (D)BKEY <R> K (N)EXT <R> S/A (CO)NNECT R S (COM)MIT (DU)P R (P)RIOR <R> S/A (DI)SCONNECT R S (ROL)LBACK (CU)RRENT R/S/A (L)AST <R> S/A (M)ODIFY R (O)WNER S (U)SING R S F (S)TORE R PF1: HELP ..COMMAND INPUT.. ..MESSAGE OUTPUT..
