Drill Down to the Next Command Level

When using a line command, you can link or drill down to the next command level.

By default, the first command in the command string is linked to and the associated screen displays, unless the command is a function command.

Function commands:

• Do not have associated screen displays
• Some display messages
• Some cause other screen activity to occur

Example function command: ASID

When the first command in a command string is a function command, such as ASID, insert a LINK command in front of the next primary command.
