File Manager for CICS Logon panels

There are two forms of the File Manager for CICS Logon panel.

The batch invocation panel is displayed when START=BATCH is in effect at logon. It submits a batch job that invokes FM/CICS. The non-batch invocation panel is displayed when START=TASK is in effect at logon.
