The flow chart

shows how the screens are organized. You move through the screens by branching from the Primary Menu (SL01). For example, if you select Volume Selection from the Primary Menu, the Volume Selection screen (VL01) is displayed.

If you know the screen you want to use, you can type the screen ID preceded by an equal sign. For example, to display the Volume Selection screen, type =VL01 on the command line of any other screen. Each screen has only certain valid IDs so you cannot get to all screens from any other screen. See the following chart for a list of the valid IDs from each screen.

When running under ISPF, the CA TLMS online interface usurps the jump-to (=) function.
