Using Menu Facility Screens

Screen components

Each CA OLQ screen has:

• The screen name listed in the top right corner.
• A page field under the screen name. The page field shows you which page of the current screen or report you are on. You can type over this field to jump to a specific page.
• A command line marked by the -> prompt. You can enter commands to move you to other screens or to perform other CA OLQ functions.
• A message line right below the command line. CA OLQ messages either tell you what to do next or signal that you have tried to perform an invalid function.
• A list of PF keys along the bottom of the screen. The PF key assignments correspond to those established at system generation.
