  Figure 6-1.  Document Print Guide Selection

The Document Print Guide Selection panel allows you to review
the list of guides available.  You can control the list of
guides displayed on this panel through primary or line
commands, or by changing the contents of the Volume ===>
field.  When you select or enter a guide category, the
displayed list changes to just the guides in that category.

Note that you can select a guide category to narrow down the
list of guides displayed, but the Print command only applies
to individual guides.

Figure 6-1 shows the initial display when Document Print is
requested.


THE VOLUME FIELD - Volume ===>

You can choose a guide for chapter printing by entering the
short name of the volume in the Volume field of the Guide
Selection Panel.  This displays the Chapter Selection Panel,
illustrated in Figure 6-2, where you see the chapter level
contents of the selected guide.

The S primary command, the S line command, and the Volume
field are all equivalent.  They all display the Chapter
Selection panel.

Note:  While viewing the table of contents from the Chapter
Selection panel, you can switch to a different volume by
entering its name in the Volume field, or you can return to
this Guide Selection list by blanking out the Volume field
and pressing enter.


LINE COMMANDS

Line commands are entered to the left of one or more rows of
the guide list.  The valid commands are:

   P (Print)

       Print the entire guide in standard document format.

   S (Select)

       Select a guide for chapter printing.  Equivalent to
       typing the selected guide name in the Volume field.
       Only one guide can be selected at a time.

   C (Convert to HTML)

       Convert the entire guide to HTML format, if the
       prerequisites described in section 4.8 of the PIOM are
       met.

       Note: This conversion feature will be implemented in
       a future release.

To print only a selected chapter of a guide, first select the
guide to see the chapter list and then use the P line command
on the desired chapters.


PRIMARY COMMANDS - Command ===>

The Command field is used to enter primary commands that
control the guide table listing or the selection of guides to
print.  The valid commands are:

   L (Locate)

       Scroll to the guide named.  Since the list is not
       alphabetic, only the exact name is searched for.

       Example:  Locate the DB2 Guide in the display list

           L DB2     (scroll to DB2 entry)

   M (bookMark)

       Switch the display to the contents of the current
       Bookmark List.

   R (Reset)

       Reset guide category selection to all guides

   S (Select)

       Select a guide to print. Equivalent to typing
       the selected guide in the Volume field.

       Example:

           S USER    (list all USER Guides)

   SC (Subject Cross Reference)

       Search for phrases in the guides that contain
       specified keywords, or return to previous search
       result.

       Example:  Search for sections using key1 key2 key3

           SC key1 key2 key3

       Example:  Reshow last search text selection list

           SC LAST

       Example:  Go to Subject Cross Reference Keyword
       Selection

           SC

Other acceptable primary commands are the standard ISPF PF
keys and Command Table commands, like Up and Down.  If the
display list is too long to fit on one screen, these
scrolling commands allow you to move through the entire list.
