Menu Display

 

 

The Menu Authorization Utility provides a dynamic display function that displays each menu with a set of function keys and a command line.

A menu is initially displayed with a list of user option numbers and the corresponding user option description.  However, the dynamic menu display function provides a set of command keys for each menu to allow you to view the menu in a different format.  The figure below shows the Order Processing Menu as it is initially displayed.

          Notice that the F19 key now has the text 'Description Dsp'.  If you press the F19 key

again, the user option descriptions will return.

 

The F19 key in will now re-display the menu with user option descriptions if pressed.

The dynamic menu display function also allows you to a command line from most screens in the system.  This command line is displayed in a window on the screen, and may be used like any other command line.  You may enter option numbers, fast paths, or mnemonics.  To display the command line, press the F2 function key.  See the figure below for an example of the Sales Order Maintenance Function Select Screen (OP100S01) after F2 is pressed.
