Commands entered in the command area let you reach all facilities and functions available through CA Ideal by menus and prompters.
The following graphic shows an example of the relationship between commands and menu‑driven services. Using the menu‑driven approach, the Main Menu and its associated menus and prompters provide the delete service. Following the route illustrated in the diagram, the Main Menu selection of option 1 takes you to the Program Maintenance Menu. Then option 4 of the Program Maintenance Menu takes you to the delete prompter, which, once completed and entered, provides the delete service.
Alternatively, you can reach the same service directly through an equivalent command, DELETE PROGRAM DEMO1. In addition, the command PROGRAM bypasses the Main Menu to display the Program Maintenance Menu. The DELETE command bypasses the Main Menu and the Program Maintenance Menu to display the delete prompter.
The options listed in the menus and prompters are identical to the command syntax. The relationship of menus, prompters and commands is shown next:
