Navigating in FM/IMS
You navigate around FM/IMS panels in the same way as any other panels under ISPF. That is, you start a dialog from a menu, by entering the appropriate menu option number on the Command line. The Primary Option menu provides access to dialogs that are related to a particular function or group of functions. In some cases, an option on the Primary Option menu leads to another menu, from which you can make a further selection.
Some FM/IMS panels have more information than can be seen in a single screen, particularly when you are running in 80x24 display. When this happens, a “More? message is displayed in the top right corner of the panel. This also happens in split screen mode when all of the data cannot be displayed in the window.
