6.2.5 Allowable Next Function(s)

Mandatory. Default=*ANY

Specify up to 20 functions that are allowed to be invoked after this function has been completed. 

Rules

Allowable values include all functions in the process as well as the following reserved words:

Name Reserved meaning / description *ANY Any function name MENU Display process main menu EXIT Exit from LANSA HELP Display process HELP text SELECT Select next function from list of allowable function EOJ End all batch processing ERROR Abort process with an error RETRN Return control to calling process or function

Tips & Techniques

• The use of special value *ANY is recommended if any function can be invoked rather than listing all function names.

• If *ANY is used, it should be the only entry in the list.

• If *ANY is not used, ensure that the Next Function is included into the list.

• Lists that do not include reserved names EXIT and MENU are effectively disabling the use of the EXIT and MENU function keys. The EXIT and MENU function keys are processed by simulating the entry of "next functions" of EXIT and MENU respectively.
