Easy Help for CICS 2.1

Date Released: 1995-09-13

  • Upper and lower case help text is now supported on all terminals, including those whose text is converted to upper case by CICS
  • When paging to the next or previous field's help text, the cursor and help window also move correspondingly.
  • Easy Help may be invoked from application programs for installations wanting only a limited number of applications to use Easy Help and for installations not wanting to use the Terminal Control Exit programs.
  • The PF key used to display the Easy Help menu (default is PF3) now causes a return to the previous screen. This makes it easier to navigate through the screen and field directories without returning to the menu.
  • For applications that support multiple screen sizes, requests for help are now independent of the actual screen size used, if the fields are defined on row/column combinations that are valid for both screen sizes.
