Using cursor-sensitive control

Cursor-sensitive control lets you place the cursor on a field in a tabular report, press the ENTER key, and see another report containing any additional information about the field. You can move from one RMF™ report to the other without returning to the primary menu or entering specific commands.

RMF keeps track of your path. Pressing the END (PF3) key returns you to the previous report until you reach the point at which you started.

Note: If you press the RETURN (PF4) key, or use the jump function, or, in a sysplex environment, switch from one system to another, RMF displays the Primary menu and you lose all return paths.

If you issue any RMF command while using cursor-sensitive control, or use cursor sensitivity to select a new system ID, RMF will erase the return path up to the point at which you did so.

Cursor-sensitive control is active on:
  • Most fields on all tabular reports except STORCR
  • The Jobname field of the Job Report Selection menu
  • The Report Type field of the Option Selection menu
  • All system lines in the Data Index
Cursor-sensitive control is not active on:

  • The STORCR report panel
  • RMF reports that you modify
