Getting Started
This chapter includes the following topics:
Before You Begin
Before using this guide, verify with the INCONTROL™ administrator that the reports needed for this tutorial have been generated. While the procedures and illustrations contained in this guide correspond to what you encounter when using the Online Viewing Facility, there may be minor differences due to site and/or time variations. The INCONTROL administrator will inform you of any such variations, including screen PFKey definitions.
You can obtain a list of the PFKey definitions for a particular screen by typing SHPF in the COMMAND field of that screen and pressing Enter.
Your INCONTROL administrator will explain how to begin an Online Viewing Guide training session.
The Online Viewing Facility is designed for use on both color and monochrome monitors. Several of the exercises in this guide demonstrate color features of online viewing. Using a color monitor when performing these exercises is highly recommended, but not necessary. If an exercise that demonstrates color features can be skipped by users with monochrome monitors, this is indicated in a note included in the exercise.
Note to the INCONTROL Administrator
This procedures describes how to prsepare the DEMO environment for this guide.
Begin
-
Submit the JCL found in member DEMO1J in the Control-D JCL library. Check that all the job steps terminate with condition code 0.
-
Execute decollating mission DEMO1D (if you are using only Control-D) or DEMO1V (if you are using both Control-D and Control-V). These decollating missions are found in the Control-D Reports library.
-
Check in the Active Missions Environment screen that the mission ended OK.
-
Verify that the Active User Report list for user DEMO (in the User Reports facility) looks as follows:

-
Use the NEXTPAGE and PREVPAGE commands to scroll through a report.
-
Use the RIGHT and LEFT commands, or the PF11/PF23 or PF10/PF22 keys respectively, to shift the report display.
-
Use the FIND and FIND str PREV commands, or the PF05/PF17 key, to locate specific string occurrences in your report.
-
Use the Help facility to get more information about the current screen.
-
Exit the current screen and exit the Online Viewing Facility.
Commands and Function Keys includes a complete list of the Control-D commands and function keys.
Overview of Online Viewing
The Online Viewing facility enables you to look at reports on your screen. Upon entering the Online Viewing facility, an entry panel is displayed.
The entry panel enables you to specify report attributes that determine which reports will be available for viewing. When you press Enter, information about the reports you can view is displayed in a User Reports list. From this Reports list, you can select a particular report for online viewing.
The report you selected is displayed on your screen. When you finish looking at the report, you can return to the User Reports list. You can then select another report for viewing, or return to the entry panel, or exit the Online Viewing facility.
Now, you can look at the basics of online viewing.
Entry Panel
Enter the Online Viewing facility. Unless you have been given other site-specific instructions for entering this facility, enter the facility by typing U (User Reports option) in the OPTION field of the IOA Primary Option menu, and pressing Enter.
The User Reports entry panel is displayed. The values specified in the User Reports entry panel determine which reports are made available.
The User Reports panel is displayed in different formats, or display types.
When different formats of a screen are available, the term "display type" is used to refer to each format.
This exercise discusses the following entry panel display types:
-
Default display type (abbreviated D), which is a brief format with few fields.
-
Extended display type (abbreviated E), which is a detailed format with many fields.
Examples of both of these display types are discussed in Changing Entry Panel Display Types. The different display types are discussed in further detail in Entry Panel Fields.
Changing Entry Panel Display Types
The DISPLAY command is used to change display types in the User Reports entry panel.
Type DI D (an abbreviation of DISPLAY DEFAULT) in the COMMAND field at the top of the page (be sure to leave a space between the DI and the D).
Regardless of the display type that appeared when you first entered the Online Viewing facility, the Control-D Default display type is now displayed.

Scrolling Up and Down
Scrolling up and down is useful when the report contains more lines than can be displayed on the screen at one time, which is usually the case.
You scroll up to see data that is currently above the top of the screen. You scroll down to see data that is currently below the bottom of the screen.
To scroll through your report, use the predefined PFKeys:
-
DOWN (PF08/PF20)
-
UP (PF07/PF19)
-
Before scrolling through the report, notice that the first record displayed belongs to A. Haber, and the last record displayed belongs to N. Tracey.
-
Press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20).
The report display scrolls down to the next screen. N. Tracey’s record is now at the top of the screen, and J. Brennan’s record is now at the bottom of the list. A. Haber’s record has scrolled off the screen.

Press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20) again.
The report scrolls down. J. O'Leary is at the top of the screen, and K. Eaves is at the bottom of the screen. The cursor is positioned back at the COMMAND field.
-
There are two ways to change the scroll amount: changing the specific amount at the COMMAND field, and changing the scroll definition.
-
To override the defined amount for a specific instance of scrolling, type the desired scroll amount in the COMMAND field and then press a scroll key. For example:
-
Type M in the COMMAND field.
-
Press the UP key (PF07/PF19). The report is displayed from the beginning.
-
-
Changing the scroll definition affects all subsequent scrolls. To change the default scroll definition, move the cursor to the SCROLL field, and type in the desired definition. You only need to change the first letter of the defined scroll amount.
-
Typing M (or MAX) in the SCROLL field and pressing the UP or DOWN key causes the display to scroll to the top or bottom of the report, but the default value in the SCROLL field remains unchanged.
For example:
-
To change the scroll definition to HALF, change the first letter in the scroll definition to H.
-
Leave the scroll amount defined as CRSR.
Scrolling by Print-Page
Most reports are designed to be printed. They usually contain about 60 to 80 lines per page as opposed to 20 to 24 lines in a screen display (depending on the screen model).
The NEXTPAGE and PREVPAGE commands scroll by print-page (printed report page), unlike the UP and DOWN scroll commands that scroll according to the number of lines in a screen. If you are in the middle of a page and enter the NEXTPAGE command, the display scrolls to the top of the next print-page.
NEXTPAGE and PREVPAGE may be abbreviated to N and P, respectively.
The command format for each command is, respectively
-
NEXTPAGE n
-
PREVPAGE n
where n is the number of print-pages to scroll up or down
When you use these commands without specifying the number of print-pages, a default value of 1 is assumed.
Now use the NEXTPAGE or PREVPAGE command to scroll through the report. You should currently be at the top of the report.
-
Type N in the COMMAND field and press Enter.
The top line of the Report Viewing screen (below) indicates that you are on PAGE 2 OF 3 (print-pages). The record at the top belongs to N. McMann (employee number 66157).

Shifting Right and Left
While most screen displays are 80 columns wide, many reports are 132 columns wide, and a report may even be 256 columns wide. To view a 132-column report in an 80-column screen, it is necessary to shift the display to the right and to the left.
Displays may be shifted by using the predefined PFKeys for RIGHT and LEFT:
Table 3 PF Keys to Shift Display

| LEFT | PF10/PF22 | Text to the left of the current display is shifted into view. |
-
Press the RIGHT key (PF11/PF23).
The report display is shifted so that the right side of the report data is visible on the screen.

FIND Command
Sometimes you want to find occurrences of a specific phrase or string. You can do this using one of the two FIND command formats:
-
FIND string: The cursor moves to the next occurrence of the string after the cursor position.
-
FIND string PREV: The cursor moves to the last previous occurrence of the string before the cursor position.
If the search string contains embedded spaces, enclose the string in quotation marks or apostrophes.
The FIND commands can be abbreviated to F string, and F string PREV.
PF05 and PF17 are the FIND keys. You can perform a FIND (or FIND PREV) by typing the desired string (or string PREV) in the COMMAND field and pressing the FIND key.
Repeating a FIND
Pressing the FIND key (without typing a string in the COMMAND field) repeats the last FIND (or FIND PREV) command.
To find successive occurrences of a string, specify the appropriate command once to find the first occurrence, then press the FIND key to find successive occurrences.
You can use the abbreviated FIND command, F, to search the report for a specific data value.
-
Type F 50,000 in the COMMAND field and press Enter.
The cursor moves to the first occurrence of the string in the report (the record of M. Goliger).

66156 L. WOHL 18 41,000 XXX-YY-ZZZZ 2 -
Press the FIND key (PF05/PF17).
The cursor locates the next occurrence of the string in the report (the record of H. Avidon).

Press Enter to return to the Command line.
-
Type F 50,000 PREV (but do not press Enter).
-
Use the DOWN key to move to the line containing the record of T. Hardy.
-
Press Enter.
The cursor moves to the previous occurrence of the string (the record of H. Avidon, again).
-
Press the FIND key (PF05/PF17).
The cursor again moves to the previous occurrence of the string (the record of M. Goliger).
Substring occurrences are also found when using the FIND key. For example, performing a FIND on the word end, would retrieve the word "dependents." Finding substrings can often be avoided by enclosing the word in quotes with a preceding and/or trailing embedded space (for example, " end "), but it might overlook desired occurrences.
For example, "end." would be overlooked because of the period after the word.
HELP Command
The Control-D and Control-V Online Help facilities provide additional information about your current display. When you press the HELP key, your current display is temporarily replaced by a display of useful information and instructions.
The default keys for the Help facility are PF01/PF13.
-
Press the HELP key (PF01/PF13).
-
Help for the Report Viewing screen is displayed.

Report Viewing
==============
The V (View) option is used to display reports online in the Report
Viewing screen.
When option V is specified in an Active User Report list whose
selection criteria did not include a specific index with a specific
value (or value prefix matched by a unique value), the Report Viewing
screen displays the whole report.
When option V is specified in a Values of Index panel, in an Active
User Report list whose selection criteria included a specific index
with an existing value, or in a Quick Access panel, the Report
Viewing screen displays the first report page that is pointed to by
the specified index value. The section retrieved may consist of one
page or many pages depending on how the report was indexed.
Note: Default color definitions for the Report Viewing screen are
specified in the User Profile. To change these definitions,
see your INCONTROL administrator. You can use rulers to
ENTER END OR PF03/PF15 TO EXIT THE HELP SCREEN 13.34.01
When the Help display is longer than one screen, you can press the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the Help display.
You can also use the FIND command to find a specific string or reference while you are in the Help facility.
The Instruction line at the bottom of the Help screen explains how to exit the Help facility.
Use the Help facility to find out more about report viewing.
-
Press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20).
The Help information is scrolled down.
-
Press the UP key (PF07/PF19).
The beginning of the Help information is displayed.
-
Type the FIND command F "NEXTPAGE" and press Enter.
The display scrolls down and the cursor is positioned on the phrase NEXTPAGE.
-
Press the END key (PF03/PF15).
The Report Viewing screen is again displayed.
Exiting the Online Viewing Facility
You have already seen that you can exit screens by pressing the END key (PF03/PF15). This brings you back to the previous screen. You can, in fact, keep pressing the END key until you are out of the Control-D Online Viewing facility.
There is, however, a quicker way to exit online viewing. Entering =X in the COMMAND field of any Online Viewing screen takes you directly out of the Online Viewing facility.
You can now exit the online viewing session:
-
Type =X in the COMMAND field of your screen (the Report Viewing screen) and press Enter.
You have now exited the Online Viewing facility and returned to your regular operating environment.
