Using Commands

Some commands to keep in mind while using the Information Center Facility are:

KEYS: Use KEYS to display the PF key settings. You can type KEYS on the COMMAND/OPTION line of any Information Center Facility panel.
ADMIN: Use ADMIN to display the main menu panel for administrators (Figure 1) without exiting the service you are using. You can then select and use other services. To return to the panel on which you typed ADMIN, press the END or RETURN PF key one or more times. You can type ADMIN on the COMMAND/OPTION line of any Information Center Facility panel.
IC: Use IC to display the main menu panel for users without exiting the service you are using. The IC command is similar to the ADMIN command in that you can temporarily leave one service and go to one or more other services, but you must always return through the route you came. You can type IC on the COMMAND/OPTION line of any Information Center Facility panel.
GO: Use GO together with the keyword of an option to go to that option. For example, you can type go enroll on the COMMAND/OPTION line of any Information Center Facility panel to go directly to the ENROLL option.
AMSELECT: Use AMSELECT from outside the Information Center Facility together with the keyword of an Information Center Facility option to go to that option. For example, you can type amselect enroll at the READY mode message or tso amselect enroll on an ISPF/PDF panel to go directly to the ENROLL option.
AMSELECT and GO select only products and services that were defined by Application Manager. They do not select the options DESCRIBE, TUTORIAL, and EXIT.

In addition, you can use:

Any valid ISPF or TSO/E command or subcommand. Note that, to enter TSO/E commands, you must type tso and a blank before the command. You can also enter any of the commands the PF keys are set to issue, such as END or HELP, on the COMMAND line instead of using the PF key.
Commands mentioned in panel instructions, such as:
NEW

The NEW command displays news items added since you last viewed news. NEW is valid only on the first menu panel for news.

CANCEL

The CANCEL command discards changes you made but do not want to save. CANCEL is not valid on all panels. Panel instructions tell you when you can use it.
