4.2.2.1 The Display Screen

 






   The Session Manager display screen appears when you press the Enter key 
   after logging on. This screen is divided into several areas called 
   windows. You use these windows to enter, look at, and change the work in 
   your session journal. 





   Windows             Definition 




   MAIN               
The large portion of the display screen above the 
                       numbered line is the MAIN window. This window lets you 
                       see everything you type (commands and input to TSO/E) 
                       and everything the system displays (output from 
                       commands, messages). In effect, it lets you see your 
                       session journal. You can also enter information in 
                       this window. 




   CURRENT            
Just below the numbered line is the CURRENT window. 
                       When you first log on, this window lets you see the 
                       last two lines in your session journal. As you do work 
                       and more output is placed in your session journal, the 
                       CURRENT window changes to reflect the last two lines 
                       of output. 




   STATUS             
The STATUS windows for the MAIN window are located in 
                       the lower right-hand corner of the display screen. The 
                       top window shows the scroll amount (labelled 
                       SCROLL===> HALF) and the bottom window indicates 
                       whether the MAIN window is locked or unlocked. 




   ENTRY              
The ENTRY window begins right after the arrow near the 
                       bottom of your display screen and continues to the 
                       vertical bar on the last line of the screen. This area 
                       is where you normally type in TSO/E commands. 




   PASSWORD           
The window after the vertical bar is the PASSWORD 
                       window and can be used to type in passwords for your 
                       data sets. The information you type in the PASSWORD 
                       window will not appear on the display screen or in 
                       your session journal. 



                       Session Manager also uses the PASSWORD window to 
                       display error messages to you.
