E.3.2.2 Primary/Line Command Considerations


CANCEL - The CANCEL command will negate (or back out) any
    product change selections entered on this panel.

END - If one or more product changes have been selected (that
    is, marked to be applied to your CA MICS system), the END
    command displays the next panel.

SELECT - The SELECT primary and line commands mark the
    indicated product change for application to your CA MICS
    system.

PRT - The PRT primary and line commands mark the indicated
    product change for printing.  Printing does not start
    until the END command is entered.  A print option panel
    is displayed before the changes are printed.

RESET - The RESET primary and line commands return the
    product changes to their prior status.  If APPLYING (have
    an A next to the CMD column), they revert to SELECTED and
    if SELECTED, they return to the UNAPPLIED status.

X - The Emergency Force primary and line commands select any
    product change regardless of its status.  Corequisites
    and prerequisites are ignored.  USE THIS WITH EXTREME
    CARE!


Usage note:  The Emergency Force command should not be needed
under normal circumstances.  If, for instance, a product
change apply job failed to complete and you need to resubmit
the apply job, use the RESET command rather than the X
command.  This changes the status of the product change from
"A" (applying) back to "S" (selected), and will again take
requisite changes into account when recreating the apply
job.

By contrast, the Emergency Force command ignores information
about requisite changes.  If you must use this command to
make a fix available for selection, use care in determining
whether requisite changes are already applied.  If you force
a change and then want to bring it back to "S" (selected)
status, you may reset the change and then select it again.
This method causes PSP to check requisites when you re-select
the change.
