IOA Primary Option Menu

The IOA Primary Option menu is the primary interface to functions available under the various INCONTROL products. The options displayed in the menu depend on the INCONTROL products installed at the site, and the functions and facilities that have been authorized to you.

If only Control-D and Control-V are installed at your site, and you are authorized to access all functions and facilities, the following screen is displayed:

Note: When the Online facility is activated as an ISPF application, options 6 is displayed as: "6 UTILITIES Online Utilities." In this case, option 6 activates the Online Utilities under ISPF. When the Online facility is not activated under TSO or TSO/ISPF, option 6 is inactive.
