Interrupting processing to process other members on the Keyword Display panel

While using the Keyword Display Panel, you can select the P option to interrupt processing of the current member and begin processing another member.

The P option is valid on any keyword whose value is used to identify a member in the IMS PROCLIB data set. The keyword displays as underlined for easy identification. The keyword must have a value.

The selected member is processed under the current IMS release. When processing of the selected member is complete (F3), processing of the interrupted member returns.

If the member does not exist, the panel shown in Figure 1 is displayed to ask if a new member should be created or if the member should be processed in a different data set. If neither action is appropriate, the user can choose to cancel processing of the member.
