To access a list of dialogs from the Dialog Selection screen:

  1. Type the name of the dialog you want to access in the DIALOG NAME field. If the dialog name is unknown, leave the DIALOG NAME field blank to display the Dialog List screen. You can restrict the Dialog List by entering a mask or prefix in the appropriate field. A mask will search the entire dialog name for the entered characters. A prefix will look for dialog names that begin with the entered characters.
  2. Type the version of the dialog (if a dialog name is specified) in the VERSION field. If a version number is not specified, the default (highest/lowest) determined during the installation of CA IDMS DME is used.
  3. Enter Y or N to determine whether or not you want your dialog list sorted. If you indicate Y, the list will be sorted in name sequence. Extremely large lists of dialogs may result in sort error TPE7015E. This indicates that there was not adequate scratch for sorting. If this occurs, you can limit the number of entries to be sorted by selecting a mask or prefix, or indicating N in the SORT DIALOG LIST field.
  4. Press the Enter key.

If a dialog name is specified in the DIALOG NAME field, a list of process modules associated with that dialog is displayed.
