VaMMIS Navigation

The VaMMIS is a mainframe data processing environment using standard Customer Information Control System (CICS) screen navigation and function choice options.

Standard Keyboard Function Keys

Tab - Moves to the next active field when entering data.

Enter - Sends your command to the system.

Perform Function (PF) Keys
You can use the standard PF key combinations from your keyboard for any screen navigation or command. PF keys correspond to the F1 - F12 function keys on the top row of your keyboard. The active PF keys are listed on the bottom of each screen, below the MSG (Messages) area.

Using PF Keys F13-F25
For PF keys greater than F12, you have to combine the shift key with the PF keys.

PF13 (shift + F1)
PF14 (shift + F2)
PF15 (shift + F3)
PF16 (shift + F4)

PF17 (shift + F5)
PF18 (shift + F6)
PF19 (shift + F7)
PF20 (shift + F8)
PF21 (shift + F9)

PF22 (shift + F10)
PF23 (shift + F11)
PF24 (shift + F12)

For example: If you want to view the TPL Summary (PF16)
1. Hold down the 'Shift' (equals F12) key
2. Press the 'F4' key. (F12 + F4 invokes F16
