CHOOSE boxes vs. Soft MENU
In some of the exercises presented in this chapter we have seen menu lists of
commands displayed in the screen. This menu lists are referred to as
CHOOSE boxes
. For example, to use the ORDER command to reorder
variables in a directory, we used:
„°˜
Show PROG menu list and select MEMORY
@@OK@@
˜˜˜˜
Show the MEMORY menu list and select DIRECTORY
@@OK@@
——
Show the DIRECTORY menu list and select ORDER
@@OK@@
activate the ORDER command
There is an alternative way to access these menus as
soft MENU
keys, by
setting flag
117
. To set this flag try the following:
H
@FLAGS!
———————
The screen shows flag 117 not set (
CHOOSE boxes
), as shown here:
Press the soft menu key to set flag 117 to soft MENU. The screen will
reflect that change:
