The options on FM/Db2 panels are displayed in two different formats:
  • A list of numbered options in the form of a menu.

    To select one of these options, type the option number in the entry field provided. For example, in the Db2® View panel shown in FM/Db2 panel showing selectable options, to select Previous, type 2.

  • One or more options that you can select or deselect.

    To select one of these options for the current session of the FM/Db2 function only, type a / in the entry field provided. To deselect the option, type a space in the entry field.

    If the panel shows you can select the option by entering a / or an A (such as the Db2® View panel):
    • To select an option for the current session of the FM/Db2 function only, type a “/”.
    • To retain this option as selected from one session of the FM/Db2 function to the next, type an “A”. Use this selection character if you want FM/Db2 to always select this option before continuing processing the FM/Db2 function.

      For example, if you always want to edit the template before viewing data, select Edit template on the Db2® View panel using the selection character “A”.

You must select all the required options before you press Enter.
