Primary Commands

Each menu and panel allows you to use primary commands. Primary commands are those that you enter on the COMMAND line. Use primary commands to perform functions that affect the whole menu or panel with which you are working. The most commonly used primary commands are as follows:

• SORT

  Sorts the sequence of the information that is listed on the panel by using the desired column.

  See "Sort List Panels" for details about how to sort.

• SORT STD

  Changes the standard sort order of the specific panel for a specific TSO user.

  The sort order column is highlighted. See "Sort List Panels" for details about how to sort

• END (or PF3)

  Saves changed data directly and either displays the next panel or returns you to the calling panel if there are no more panels to display

• CANCEL or CAN

  Cancels all keyed input for the specified function and returns you to the calling panel.

  For example, if you are defining specific information pertaining to a job exclusion, when you enter CAN, your input to all panels for the specified exclusion are canceled.

• INSERT or I

  Displays an insert panel on which the specific information pertaining to a new item can be defined.
