To sign off from a CA Ideal session, enter the OFF command.
The sign‑off panel appears as shown. The system supplies all information on this panel. It does not require user input. The release number is shown at the bottom right. Any user messages display in the blank line at the top of the panel.

To sign off from a CA Ideal session and to request a new CA Ideal sign on panel, enter OFFON.
For more information about the OFF and OFFON commands, see the Command Reference Guide.
Once you successfully sign on to CA Ideal, all displayed panels follow the same basic organization. A typical CA Ideal panel layout is shown as follows. Screens in each of the following sections contain examples of actual CA Ideal panels.
=> command area => => message line ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑(separator) IDEAL aaaaaaa bbb ccccccc nnn dddd SYS: eee ffff (status line) display area (region)
The areas on the CA Ideal panel include the following:
Defines top lines of the panel, each of which begins with a command line indicator symbol (=>). You can use between 0 and 5 command lines. You can change this number with a SET command, as described in the section, How to Set Session Options, later in this chapter. The previous panel shows three command lines.
You can enter any valid CA Ideal command in the command area. You can issue multiple commands at one time either by entering one command on each command line, or by entering two or more commands on each command line separated by the command delimiter symbol.
For example, to delete a program definition called DEMO1, set a panel's new field symbol to a not sign (Ø) and display a panel definition called EMP1, enter:
=> DELETE PROGRAM DEMO1 VER 1 => SET PANEL NEWSYM Ø => DISPLAY PANEL EMP1
You can enter these three commands one at a time or issue them together as shown. CA Ideal processes commands in their order of entry and stops if there is an error in the command or as a result of the command. In case of error, CA Ideal displays a message and continues to display the commands not yet processed. You need only to correct the command in question.
Enter multiple commands on the same command line separated by a command delimiter. For example, you can enter the same commands shown above by using the semicolon (;) as the command delimiter:
DEL PROG DEMO1 VER 1;SET PAN NEWSYM Ø;DISP PAN EMP1
Defines an area where messages and warnings display.
Separates the command and message area from the display area. It can be any special character, null, or a grid set by the SET COMMAND SEPARATOR command (see Setting Options later in this chapter). In the previous panel, a hyphen (‑) is used.
Describes the contents of the display area. This line consists of the following :
Displays the current system abbreviation; for example, SYS: DOC in the following panel.
Defines the type of CA Ideal panel currently presented in the display area. The five panel types are listed as follows:
The CA Ideal command syntax for a function that a prompter performs is identical to the presentation of the text on the prompter. The prompter panel familiarizes the user with the command language as well as prompting them.
Defines an area that displays all panels, applications, and data. The display area in the panel in the section titled Prompter Panels contains the display index prompter.
Defines an area that includes the status line and display area. A region is where a CA Ideal facility or service is performed. You can have more than one region on a panel.
Menu panels display options that you can select by tabbing to the selection field and entering the number of the option you want. CA Ideal provides menus for frequently used facilities, such as report maintenance, edit, display, and administration. A sample menu panel follows.
=> => => -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IDEAL: MAIN MENU SYS: DOC MENU Enter desired option number ===> 4 There are 11 options in this menu: 1. PROGRAM Define and maintain programs 2. DATAVIEW Display dataview definitions 3. PANEL Panel Definition Facility 4. REPORT Report Definition Facility 5. PLAN Application Plan Maintenance 6. PROCESS Compile, Run, Submit 7. DISPLAY Display Entities 8. PRINT Print Entities 9. ADMINISTRATION Administration functions 10. HELP Overview of HELP facilities 11. OFF End IDEAL Session
You can select an option from a menu by tabbing to the selection field (indicated by the arrow ===>), typing the number of the option you want, and pressing the Enter key.
When you select an option from a menu, another menu or a prompter usually displays unless you can accomplish the function without further input. For example, selecting the option OFF from the Main Menu brings you out of CA Ideal directly. However, selecting option 4, REPORT, displays the Report Maintenance Menu.
A prompter panel displays when you enter a command without all the necessary information. This could occur when you select an item from a menu or when you enter a command without required operands. The prompter panel prompts you for the missing information.
The following panel shows a sample prompter panel.
=> => => ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IDEAL: MARK STATUS RPT SYS: $ID PROMPTER MARK STATUS RPT __________________ VERSION ____ TO ____ (1) (2) (3) (4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) PGM = Program (2) Name (3) nnn = Ver. # (4) PROD = Production PNL = Panel PROD HIST = History RPT = Report SYS = System USR = User DVW = Dataview (unmodelled)
Any data that was supplied in the command is inserted in the prompter. The fields are numbered as a key to the help information displayed in the lower half of the panel. When the fields are filled in, the command has the same syntax as if you entered the full syntax on the command line. In this way, you can start using CA Ideal without knowing the full syntax for commands, learning the syntax by using the prompters.
Use the Tab key to move from field to field. To execute the command when you complete the prompter, press the Enter key. To return to the menu without completing the prompter, press the PF2 (Return) key.
Fill‑in panels are panels where you can enter data. The panel can look like a form, with fields to fill in (like the Panel Parameters panel) or it can look like a blank editing area (like the Procedure Definition panel, shown later in this section).

When you display a fill‑in panel, if you already entered any data on it in this or any other session, the information displays as it was last entered.
When you complete a fill‑in, press the Enter key or a PF key to apply the modified data. Pressing the Enter key applies the data, but leaves the current fill‑in displayed. To continue, enter the appropriate command or press the appropriate function key. Press the:
Return the session to the CA Ideal Main Menu without applying the modified data (except in certain cases with RUN).
Ignore modified data.
Redisplay the panel with all fields blanked out (RESHOW).
Display current function key assignments.
