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.
