 |
|
Hi friends,
I need your valuable inputs for the problem i am facing. I have Created a panel to perform some function. This panel has a HELP Pulldown at a cornor. Now when i select an option from this pull down, i want to invoke another panel which is nothing but some text for help typed in it. Now this is the code which i am using to Invoke the second panel.
| Code: | )ABC DESC('HELP') MNEM(1)
PDC DESC('TIPS')
ACTION RUN(ISRROUTE) PARM('SELECT PANEL(TSTR3)') <<= This is
the second panel
)ABCINIT
.ZVARS = PDCHOICE
)ABCPROC
VER (&PDCHOICE,LIST,1) |
Is this the right way ? if i want to go back to the first panel after pressing some key is there something which i can code ??
Let me know ur inputs

SELECT has a special usage for selection panels it isn't really appropriate here. The help processor is program ISPTUTOR with a parm of the help panel name. Help panels have a few differences from other panels such as the use of ZSEL. See the doc for that. Generally for any kind of help, you want to do what your user expects and they will most likely expect the ISPF help system.
ISR@PRIM, the main ISPF panel, has this example:
| Code: | )ABC DESC('Help') MNEM(1)
PDC DESC('General') MNEM(1) ACTION RUN(TUTOR) PARM('ISR01000') |
