Primary Menu Display

$NMPEXIT is invoked by $NMPMENU to display the primary menu. The menu panel has the following features:

• Fixed title line
• Input option line
• Error message line
• Floating trailer containing the menu broadcast and available function keys
• 55 lines available for menu selections
• A user information box on the right hand side

A maximum of 12 menu options can be displayed on the menu at one time. The format and number of these selections should be displayable on all devices supported by your installation’s network.

$NMPEXIT uses the security query capability of &SECCALL to determine users’ authorized privileges. It then matches this profile to determine which features they are authorized to access, and displays only these features on the menu.
