Description

If SET MENU is ON, a function/control key menu is displayed at the top of the screen during full screen forms based commands such as APPEND, CHANGE, EDIT, INSERT, BROWSE and QUERY. In a system generated form, pressing the [TAB] key toggles the menu on and off. If a user defined form has been selected with the SET FORMAT command, no menu is displayed initially, however the [TAB] key toggles the display of a popup key help menu. By default, MENU is ON.
