Using the Primary Menu

The IBM® Connect:Direct® for z/OS® PRIMARY MENU is the root menu of the menu hierarchy and is the access key to all other features of the CICS® Interface.

The PRIMARY MENU contains a list of authorized IUI functions based on your IBM Connect:Direct function authorization. Your administrator can globally restrict these IUI functions in the system Configuration file, so some options may not be available to you. In addition, under ESF operation, the options are restricted to submit and utility options only. Following is an example of the PRIMARY MENU.
