Invoking Package Functions from the Package List

To initiate a ChangeMan ZMF function for a package on the Change Package List panel, type a two-character Package List Option on the line command for a package and press Enter. For most options, the first data entry panel for the selected function is displayed, or a confirmation panel is displayed.

This example shows the option for Stage Package Components (s2) entered for package ACTP000032.

Alternatively you can type options in the line command on the Change Package List panel (CMNLIST3) for more than one package at a time. The packages are processed serially, starting with the package highest on the list.

In many places in ChangeMan, a list of available options is obtained by entering an invalid command, e.g. a ’?’, on the line command, and in this case (instead of s2), on panel CMNLIST3 Change Package List and ENTER.

This displays the Package List Options menu.

You can press PF3 to return to the Change Package List panel, or you can type a two- character option in the Command line and press Enter to proceed to the desired function.

When you finish with a package function, return to the Change Package List by pressing PF3 or by typing End on the Command line and pressing Enter.
