Menu maintenance means customizing system menus to the requirements of your installation. You can add menus, and modify or delete existing ones.
Note:
As of Natural ISPF Version 2.4.1,
the menu structure has changed. If you wish to use the former menu structure,
define the menu MAIO as main menu and/or set the parameter
APPLYMOD 104 to X. See the subsections
Authorization
Table and APPLYMOD 104.
This document covers the following topics:
Natural ISPF offers three options for starting a menu edit session:
The MENU option on the Administration Menu prompts you
for a menu name; enter a menu name to start an edit session with the menu
definition (see the subsection Syntax of Menu
Definition);
The MENU LIST on the Administration Menu prompts you for
a prefix to list all menus with that prefix (enter the asterisk wildcard (*) in
this window and press ENTER to list all menus); see the example list
in the subsection Maintaining Menus
with Function Commands.
You can also start an edit session using function commands entered
from any system screen, addressing object-type MNU. Available
function commands are LIST,
EDIT, and DELETE. See the
subsection Maintaining Menus
with Function Commands.
Below is a typical Natural ISPF Main Menu:

The type of line in the menu is specified by the label starting in Column 1 of each line. The fields in each line must be coded in a specific range of columns (see the columns line in the above figure).
The following table explains the lines in the menu:
| Line | Meaning |
|---|---|
HDR=text
(A50)
|
Defines the menu header to be displayed at the top of the screen. |
HELP=member (A8)
|
Name of the member containing the help text for
the screen. Help texts supplied by Software AG are stored in the System Help
Library. You can a define site-specific help texts and store them in the User
Help Library. When a user issues the HELP command,
the User Help Library is always searched first for a specific help member, then
the Software AG library is searched. See also the section
Site-Specific Online
Information.
|
LINE=# ENTRY NAT NN1 Natural - Work with
Natural objects |
This line is an example of an option to appear on the menu. The detailed syntax is explained in the table on the following page. |
****=text |
Defines a text line to be displayed on the menu. No text specifies a blank line. |
CMD=synonym
command |
Where:
This line defines a command synonym; this can be an abbreviation of
a Natural ISPF command which the user enters in the command line, or the
synonym can be used in a menu option line if the available 12 bytes are too
short for the original command. The above example menu defines |
The number of displayable menu options is limited to 18. This means that
the sum of LINE= and ****= lines to be displayed must
not exceed 18.
LINE=# ENTRY NAT NN1 Natural - Work with Natural objects
The items must be written in the appropriate column number as shown below:
| Parameter (Format) | Meaning | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
opt (A4)
(# in example above) (Columns 6 to 9)
|
Automatic numeration of the option. The special
character # assigns the next number following on from the previous
option. The first option line can contain a real number (in the above example,
the first option is 0 (zero). The default is 1.
Alternatively, you can specify a character string for the option.

||||||||||
command
(A12)(ENTRY NAT in example) (Columns 11 to 22)
|
|
||||||||||
S (A1)
(first N in example) (Column 23)

Signifies the subsystem. For example,
N for Natural. For a list of possible options, see
Subsystems Supported by Natural
ISPF at the end of this documentation. The menu line is
only displayed if the specified subsystem is activated in the
CONFIG member.
|
||||||||||
C (A1)
(second N in example) (Column 24)
|
Denotes the authorization class as listed in the
user authorization table, for example, N for Natural. If the menu
option is site-defined, use the equal sign (=) here. The authorization codes
are also used in the site control table (see the section
Open NSPF in
the Natural ISPF Programmer's Guide). For a list of
possible values, see Authorization
Classes at the end of this documentation.
|
||||||||||
L (N1)
(1 in example) (Column 25)
|
Denotes the authorization level for the class.
Possible options are 1-9. The option line will appear on a user's
menu only if the level specified here is equal to or lower than the
authorization level for the same class in the user's authorization table. The
above example specifies Level 1 for class Natural. To bar a user from using the
Natural option, the user must have Level 0 in his or her authorization table.
If you specify 2 here and the user is authorized for Natural with
Level 1, he or she will not see the option on his or her menu, but can execute
Level 1 functions using function commands on the corresponding object types.

Use the Editor to customize menus. To create a new menu from scratch, or adapt an existing menu for your site's purposes, you are strongly advised to use an existing menu as a model for the new one.
The easiest way of doing this is to work in multi-session mode: start an
edit session with a new menu name in one session and an Editor session with an
existing menu in another. Use cross-section copying with two Editor line
commands CC to mark the block of the existing menu
to be copied, and an Editor line command A in the edit session with the new
menu to mark the place where the menu lines are to be inserted (see also the
subsection Multi-Session
Operations in the section Useful
Features of the Natural ISPF User's Guide).
This subsection provides some typical examples of customized menus:
The following menu named SAG invokes other menus, using
the MENU command:

The line:
HELP=SAGHELP
invokes help member SAGHELP in the User Help Library when
a user issues the HELP command from this menu.
The line:
LINE=S MENU SDSF SDSF - System display/search facility
defines an option S, which, when selected, displays the
menu named SDSF. Since no subsystem and authorization codes are
specified in this line, the option is subsystem-independent and will appear on
this menu for all users. Only access to the options invoked by the
ERRM and MENU BTCH
commands are subject to authorization.
The command ERRM is a synonym for a command
sequence, defined by the line:
CMD =ERRM list pds nn(v2*)
If you wish to make this menu available from any menu at your site, you must add the following line to the options on that menu definition:

|
The line:
LINE=XREF NAT L X N1 XREF - Active References
invokes Natural system command LIST with
parameter XREF. This option is subsystem-independent with
Authorization Level 1.
If you wish to add a site-specific option that invokes a different application, you must add a menu line similar to the following:
LINE=# APP MYAPPL =3 MYAPPL - Natural my application
This example assumes that the application MYAPPL is
terminated with the command RETURN on the stack.
This menu option adds a subsystem-independent option
MYAPPL to the menu. The authorization class is user-defined (=)
with Level 3, which means that a user must be authorized with at least Level 3
in his authorization table to see the option on his or her menu.
The line:
CMD =SYSERR APP SYSERR MENU
defines SYSERR as a synonym for the command sequence
APPLICATION SYSERR MENU and is used in the SYSERR
menu option to invoke the Natural error message maintenance facility.
If you wish to make the above menu available at your site, you must add the following line to the options on that menu definition:
LINE=# MENU UTIL UTIL - Natural ISPF Utilities
The selection of an option on the following menu results in the submission of a Batch job:

All options have no subsystem or authorization restrictions.
Please note the use of command synonyms in this example. For example, the line:
CMD =ADAREP SUBMIT PDS JWO.COMN.SOURCE(EXADAREP)
defines ADAREP as synonym for the command string:
SUBMIT PDS JWO.COMN.SOURCE(EXADAREP)
Selecting the ADAREP option on the menu submits JCL
member EXADAREP in the PDS library JWO.COMN.SOURCE.
JCL can also be contained in a Natural member (see the
TAPE2 synonym).
The members submitted in this way can also make use of the Natural
ISPF macro facility as described in section Macro Facility in the
Natural ISPF Programmer's Guide. For example, submission
of JCL could result in a window being displayed in which you enter variable
parameters before the job is submitted. Alternatively, for faster processing,
you can submit compiled macros by submitting a macro object (see the
TAPE option and synonym).
If you wish to make the above menu available from any menu at your site, you must add the following line to the options on that menu definition:
LINE=# MENU BTCH BATCH - Batch Utilities
For repetitive use of similar commands with different parameters, it may be useful to define a menu with options that reflect certain command sequences. This is done using the synonym feature. For example, the following menu provides a number of system monitoring functions (it may look familiar to you):
---------------------- 'like SDSF' primary option menu ------------------------

You must specify menu name NULL as Main Menu in the
authorization table of the default definition (*) which is assigned to
undefined users for whom there is no prefix (group) definition (see the section
User
Definitions).
Natural ISPF menus are separate objects within Natural ISPF with object
type MNU. This means that you (and other authorized users) can
maintain menu definitions with function command syntax entered from any system
screen.
The available function commands are:
| Command | Object Parameter Syntax |
|---|---|
LIST |
prefix
|
EDIT |
menuname
|
DELETE |
menuname |
where prefix is a prefix notation followed by the asterisk wildcard (*) to select only those menus that start with that prefix. The default is the asterisk wildcard (*) for a list of all menus.
Note:
If you issue any of the commands without parameters, Natural ISPF
prompts you for valid values.
The following examples are provided below:
The command:
EDIT MNU MAIN
displays the Main Menu definition in Editor format. You can modify the
menu and save it with the command SAVE.
Note:
If you delete the modified menu, you only back out your changes: you
cannot delete a system menu supplied by Software AG.
The command:
LIST MNU *
lists all defined menus in the same format as when you select the
MENU LIST option from the Administrator Menu, for example:
