While in help mode, you can use the HELPTEST command to display any help panel without simulating the conditions that normally cause HCD to display that help panel.

To display a help panel, enter “HELPTEST xxxxxxx,” where xxxxxxx is the name of the help panel, which was defined by the NAME parameter of the HDR macro. After displaying a help panel through HELPTEST, you can display the help panel for any of its reference phrases.

For example, if you enter “HELPTEST CBDED15” while in the help mode, &hcd displays help panel CBDED15 if help member CBDED15 includes the NAME parameter of the HDR macro as shown in Figure 6. After displaying help panel CBDED15, you can display the “CBDEDXX” help panel for the “MVS” reference phrase. (See RP Macro.)
