MENU 

MENU displays the main menu.

Form

Purpose 

The MENU command displays the main menu.  It contains four sets of
commands and the labels of the special function keys.  The command sets
are segregated by function:  File Commands, Editing Commands, General-1
Commands, and General-2 Commands.  See the example of the menu below for
the commands which are associated with each heading.

Related commands 

To enter a command, you press the special function key which corresponds
to the set containing the commands you wish to use.  The softkey moves
the cursor to the first inverse video (white) box.  You type in the
command abbreviation.  The cursor then moves to the next box, where you
enter the parameters of the command.  Under each box is a description of
the appropriate parameter for that space.  After the menu is filled out,
you press the ENTER key to execute the command.


NOTE  Note that not all RISE commands appear on the menu.  Only the most
      important do.


When the main menu is displayed, the special function keys perform the
following operations:

F1:              Move cursor to File Commands.

F2:              Move cursor to General-1 Commands.

F3:              Show RPG source lines with or without editor sequence
                 numbers when you enter the next SHOW command.

F4:              Move cursor to Command Window.

F5:              Move cursor to Edit Commands.

F6:              Move cursor to General-2 Commands.

F7:              Enter Line Mode.

F8:              Refresh main menu (clears the screen and redraws the
                 menu).

Execution mode:  Block.
