Fast path

HCD offers you a fast path to jump directly from an action list to another panel without having to navigate through the dialog.

HCD offers you two possibilities to use this fast path:

• Using the Goto action bar choice
• Using the GOTO command

Using the action bar choice

Select the Goto action bar choice and on the resulting pull-down menu the target object you want to navigate to.

Objects marked with ... are associated with another object (for example, an EDT list is associated with an operating system). If you select such an object, HCD displays a list on which you can select the associated object:

Using the GOTO command

Specify GOTO (or just GO) and the target you want to jump to in the HCD command line. If you type GOTO without a target, a panel is displayed showing the same list of target objects as when using the Goto pull-down menu.

You can also jump to list panels that are associated with another object (for example, to the EDT list associated with an operating system). In this case, specify both the target and the object with which it is associated. If you omit this object, a selection list is displayed (for example, the Available Operating System list appears when going to the EDT list).

Optionally, you can also specify the object that will be shown as the first element of a list if you jump to a list panel.

The following figure shows the syntax of the command. The parameters can be separated by either blank, comma, or dot.

First list element

The object that will be shown as the first element of a list if you jump to a list panel (same as if using the LOCATE command).

Examples

To go to the channel path list of processor SYSA and display CHPID 27 as the first element of the list, enter:

GO CHPID SYSA 27

To go to the esoterics list of EDT A1 in operating system MVSPROD and display the esoteric group ESO12 as the first element in the list, enter:

GO ESO MVSPROD A1 ESO12

To specify the processor ID and channel subsystem ID for XMP processors in GOTO PART or GOTO CHPID commands, you use the dot to concatenate both parts:

GO PART P2084.3
