I get to:
CSI CROSS-ZONE QUERY - ENTRY SELECTION Row 1 of 3
===> SCROLL ===> PAGE
Entry Type: DDDEF
Entry Name: SMPLOG
To select an entry from a zone, enter S next to the zone.
ZONE
-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
DLIB
S GLOBAL
TARGET
******************************* Bottom of data
********************************
I select and view the information in GLOBAL. When I END that panel,
the ENTRY SELECTION panel scrolls down so DLIB is hidden and places
the cursor on the command line. When an entire table is visible in a
single screen it's an absurd disservice to the user to automatically
scroll so any part of it is hidden. SDSF handles this elegantly; when
I END a panel it displays the parent panel unscrolled, with the cursor
in the prefix area of the line from which I entered the child panel. I
can easily select nearby, probably related, lines or reposition as I will
with Up Cursor or Down Cursor. (I have those on PF7 and PF8.) SMP/E
panels should do likewise.
As above, the only selection option is "Select". I would cherish the
addition of three more, Browse, View, and Member list, as in DSLIST.
(Perhaps the DSLIST code could be reused.)
Is there material for an RFE or two here?
