E.4.1.2 Primary/Line Command Considerations


CANCEL - The CANCEL command will negate (or back-out) any
    product change selections entered on this panel since the
    last time it was visited.

END - If one or more product changes have been selected (that
    is, marked to be applied to your CA MICS system), the END
    command will display 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 is not started
    until the END command is entered.

RESET - The RESET primary and line commands return the
    product changes to their prior status.  If APPLYING
    (signified by 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 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 again takes
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.  Also, after
you force a change 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.
