The RMS functions are available via menu control in interactive mode. K and F keys are used for control purposes.
The MAR key is used for selecting or deselecting markings. These selections or the inputs in a screen must be confirmed with the DUE key (send key). The K1 key is used to cancel a function and return to the next-highest menu level.
You mark the required entries in a selection list by entering the character “/” or “x” in the input field ahead of the entry. You reset your selection by deleting the selector or overwriting it with blanks. These selections or the inputs in a screen must be confirmed with the DUE key (send key). The K1 key is used to cancel a function and return to the next-highest menu level.
You can scroll to an fro between the list pages by marking “next page” or “previous page” with the MAR key and confirming this with the DUE key.
Information on controls can be found at the bottom of every function screen. The K9 or ESC + ? keys can be used to request help information about the individual functions. A list of the function keys can be found on "Uses of the function keys".
The overall scope of RMS and therefore the functionality which is offered in the individual screens is controlled using the individual function modules (see "Module list") and is therefore fixed. However, a function file can be used to put together your own menu contents and the functions offered therein, as well as to change the menu titles and function names (see "Defining functionality"). This makes it possible, for example, to offer the same function in several menus. In the section “Overview of functions found on the default menu” you will find a description of the default RMS menu. Remember, however, that this may not be identical with the menu you are actually working with.
In batch mode, the RMS functions are available via a statement interface. Examples can be found in the section “Typical RMS applications”, and a description of all the statements on "Statements".
