Bypassing Secondary Menus

Functions 2, 3, and 4 have secondary menu panels. To go directly from the DB Menu panel to a function that appears on one of the secondary menus, enter FUNCTION in n.n format. See the following example:

 ---------------------
 FUNCTION ===> 2.3

Entering 2.3 on the DB Menu panel indicates that you want function 2 (SCHEDULING) and that Scheduling Menu function 3 (OUTPUT NETWORK) is the function that you want to perform.

CA Workload Automation SE displays the DB.2.3 panel directly and bypasses the Scheduling Menu (DB.2).

You can also bypass these secondary menu panels. Enter the equivalent top line command, placing a comma after the command and selecting a category, as follows:

• SCHD followed by JOB, INWK, ONWK, JTRG, DTRG, or NTRG.
• JOBCONN followed by DSN, JOB, NWK, RPT, or USER.
• PROSE followed by JOB, DSN, SYS, USER, NWK, or DD.

For example, the top line command JOBCONN,JOB would display the DB.3.2 panel for defining, listing, or updating job predecessor without going through the DB or Job Predecessor/Successor Menu panels.
