The Operator Panels

The top and bottom of the Operator panels (see Initial Operator Panel) contain the same fields throughout an operator session.

From left to right, the top line of the panel displays the following fields:

• The application name. In the example it is TPX.
• The SMF ID. In the example it is IPOX.
• The distribution level. In the example it is 5.3/BASE.
• The panel ID. In the example it is TEN0200.

Error or informational messages appear on the second line of the panel.

Operator commands are entered at the bottom of the panel at the command line, which is marked with the prompt Command ==>.

PF key assignments are displayed on the last line of the panel. Only those PF key assignments that are valid for a particular panel are listed on this line.
