 Figure 4-100.  Menu Modification Worksheet


Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:

1.  TYPE

    Description:  The menu type identifier.

    Default:  None

    Values:  Character, length 1.  The types are:

      C   Complex Level Reports Menu
      E   Enterprise IS Financial Management Menu
      I   Invoicing Menu
      J   Month End Close Out Jobs Menu
      L   Process Control Menu

      R   Rate Tracking Menu
      T   Client Support Menu
      U   Month End Unit Level Reports Menu
      Y   Year End Processing Menu

2.  NUMBER

    Description:  The menu selection option number for the
    new item.

    Default:  None

    Values:  Numeric, length 2. User-added items must have
    numbers in the range 50-99 to avoid conflict with
    standard CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback items.

    NOTE:  This number appears on the menu to the left of the
           item title and is used to select the item from the
           menu.

3.  TITLE

    Description:  The title of the menu item.

    Default:  None

    Values:  Character, length 61

    NOTE:  This title appears on the menu.

4.  DESCRIPTION

    Description:  The description of the menu item.

    Default:  None

    Values:  Character, length 61

    NOTE:  This description appears on the menu below the
           item number and title line.

5.  LOGIC

    Description:  The ISPF logic to be performed when the
    menu item is selected.

    Default:  Blank

    Values: Character, length 61.  It must contain valid
    ISPF Dialog Management Service commands coded in CAs'
    Dialog Assist syntax.

    NOTE:  This field is used only if the selection of the
           menu item does not invoke ISPF Edit of a library
           member.  It will normally be blank for user-added
           items.  Consult CA Technical Support if you need
           to code this field.

6.  EDIT

    Description:  Indicates whether the selection of the menu
    item will invoke ISPF Edit of a library member.

    Default:  YES

    Values:  Character, length 3, YES or NO

    NOTE:  When Edit is YES, no additional information is
           needed to invoke the menu item, so the logic field
           (see item 5 above) must be left blank.  When this
           field is NO, you must code the logic field.

7.  DATA SET

 Description:  The type of CA MICS data set to be edited:
 Control, Source, or Parameter.

    Default:  None

    Values:  Character, length 4, CNTL, SORC, or PARM

    NOTE:  If the Edit field (see item 6 above) is NO, leave
           this field blank.  When the menu item is selected,
           you will be placed into ISPF Edit of the CA MICS
           library specified by this field.

8.  MEMBER NAME

    Description:  The member name to be edited.

    Default:  Blank

    Values:  Character, length 8. User member names should
    begin with UACT to avoid conflict with standard CA MICS
    members.

    NOTE:  If the Edit field (see item 6 above) is NO, leave
           this field blank.  If the Edit field is YES, it is
           your responsibility to create this member and
           place it in the appropriate library.

9.  LEVEL

    Description:  The level, complex or unit, of the data set
    to be edited.

    Default:  Blank

    Values:  Character, length 1, X for Complex or U for Unit

    NOTE:  If the Edit field (see item 6 above) is NO, leave
           this field blank.

10. EDIT TITLE

    Description:  The title to be placed on the Edit panel
    under the command line.

    Default:  Blank

    Values:  Character, length 64

    NOTE:  If the Edit field (see item 6 above) is YES, this
           field is optional.  If the Edit field is NO, you
           must leave this field blank.

11. HELP PANEL

    Description:  The name of the HELP panel associated with
    the edit.

    Default:  Blank

    Values:  Character, length 8. To avoid conflict with
    standard CA MICS members, the panel name should begin
    with UACT.

    NOTE:  This field is optional if the Edit field (see item
           6 above) is YES; otherwise, leave it blank.  It is
           your responsibility to create this panel and place
           it in the sharedprefix.MICS.ISPHLIB library.
