Transaction Members

Transaction members are line‑oriented of a transaction member. Each line contains customization information for one of the INCONTROL products installed at the site.

Transaction members can be used to determine

• which products are available to the user.
• which options of each product are available to the user.
• which program member is to be used by the transaction.

The format for each line in a transaction member is:

where:

• product is the INCONTROL product described in the line. Valid values are: IOA, CTM, CTR, CTD, CTV, CTT, CTO, CTL and CTB.
  
  Products do not need to be listed in any specific order. Only products listed in the transaction member are made available to the user.
• optiona through optionx are the option codes of options to be displayed, or ALL. The option codes are the one or two character codes that are entered in the command line to indicate choice of a specific option. If ALL is specified, all options of the product described in the line are displayed.
• pgmlist is the name of the Program List member used to activate the INCONTROL product described in this line. For more information, see Program List Members.

Certain transaction names cannot be used for user‑defined transaction members. Reserved transaction names are: IOAX, DOLV, KOA, VK, IALL and ECS.

Member DOLV in the IOAENV library specifies option U of Control‑D:

Member DMAN in the IOAENV library specifies all options of IOA and Control‑D:

A transaction member that contains only option 3 of Control‑M and options 4 and 5 of IOA looks like this:

If a transaction member specifies only one option, once activated, the option is accessed directly without displaying a menu panel. If more than one option is specified, the following options are automatically added to the menu: 0, 1 (in some menus) and X. Therefore, the minimum number of options in a menu member is 4 or 5. Options 0,1, and X do not need to be specified in transaction members and is not specified in PGM members.
