Top-line commands are used to direct a menu facility session. You enter top-line commands in the command area on any screen.
To enter a top-line command, either type the command in the command area and press ENTER or use the assigned global control key. For a list of control keys, see Predefined Control Keys earlier in this chapter. For an in-depth discussion of menu facility top-line commands, refer to CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide.
The following table lists and describes the top-line commands available to the IDD menu facility. An asterisk (*) identifies those commands which apply to pageable screens only.
