Input in the NEXT line

The NEXT line can be used to enter control statements for menu guidance or a command/statement in accordance with the EXPERT form of unguided dialog. The logicalline-end character ( key) is illegal here. The  key may be used to delete character strings following the desired input.

The following list contains all possible entries. Which entries are actually permitted depends on the screen contents displayed; a selection of the most important permissible entries is shown below the NEXT line.

+, ++, -, --	pages backward and forward in the menu (or form). ”-” is equivalent to the [ F7 ] key and ”+” to the [ F8 ] key in Style-guide mode.
*EXECUTE	executes the current operation (command or statement). Equivalent to the [ F3 ] key in the Old mode or the [ F11 ] key in Style-guide mode.
*CONTINUE	outputs a sub-form if the current form contains at least one structure-initiating operand value. Otherwise, the current operation is executed.
*TEST	checks inputs for syntax errors. Equivalent to the [ F2 ] key in Old mode.
*CANCEL	cancels the current menu (or operand form) and switches to the higher-ranking menu or, in the case of a sub-form, to the higher-ranking operand form. The previous specifications in the sub-form are discarded. Within a statement menu in guided dialog, *CANCEL terminates the program after requesting confirmation. Equivalent to the [ F12 ] key in Style-guide mode.
*EXIT	terminates the current menu (or operand form) and switches to the higher-ranking menu. Within a statement menu in guided dialog, *EXIT terminates the program after requesting confirmation. Equivalent to the [ K1 ] key in Old mode or the [ F3 ] key in Style-guide mode.
*EXIT-ALL	cancels the current menu (or operand form) and, in guided dialog, switches to the highest-ranking menu or, in temporarily guided dialog, to command/statement input in unguided dialog. Within a statement menu in guided dialog, *EXIT-ALL terminates the program after requesting confirmation. Equivalent to the [ F1 ] key in Old mode or the [ F6 ] key in Styleguide mode.
*REFRESH	restores the last screen displayed with the original values. Equivalent to the [ K3 ] key in Old mode or the [ F5 ] key in Styleguide modus.
*DOM-MENU	switches to the application domain menu. If *DOM-MENU is entered in an operand form, the current operation is executed before the switch is made.
<number>	if entered in an application domain menu: displays the command menu of the appropriate application domain; if entered in a command or statement menu: displays the operand form of the appropriate command or statement.
(<domain>)	displays the command menu of the application domain <domain>. If (<domain>) is specified in an operand form, the current operation is executed before the switch is made.
<command>?	executes the current operation and then displays the operand form of the command <command>. Operand values which have already been specified are incorporated in the form.
<command>	executes the current operation and then the command <command> as well. <command> also implies entry of the associated operands.
!<command>	executes the current operation and then defines task-specific default values for the command <command>. <command> also implies entry of the associated operands.
<statement>?	executes the current operation and then displays the operand form of the statement <statement>. Operand values which have already been specified are incorporated in the form.
<statement>	executes the current operation and then the statement <statement> as well. <statement> also implies entry of the associated operands.
!<statement>	executes the current operation and then defines task-specific default values for the statement <statement>. <statement> also implies entry of the associated operands.
?	switches to the next-higher guidance level for the purpose of the current input. Equivalent to the  key in Styleguide mode.
*DOWN(<operand>)	displays the subform for the specified operand value <operand> if it is the top level of a structure.
*UP	switches from the subform back to the higher-ranking operand form. In contrast to *CANCEL, the previous specifications in the subform are retained.
