Transactions

A transaction is the period of time between pressing Enter, Clear, PA or PF keys, and the system responding with another panel.

After you enter information in the display area, press a PF key or the Enter key to save that information. However, pressing Clear, PA1 (Reshow), or PA2 (Display PF/PA Key Assignments) does not save any information you entered on that panel.

For example, you just entered information in one of the fill‑in panels of the Report Definition Facility and typed OFF in the command area pressing the Enter key automatically saves the information already typed in the fill‑in‑without the need for any special command ‑‑ before CA Ideal is terminated with the OFF command.
