Fast-pathing

The RKTOOLS subsystems support fast-path navigation. For example, a SirMon user can transfer into the SirPro main menu option 1 destination (the SirPro procedure-list selection screen) by using the component subsystem name or short-code along with a menu number:

sirpro 1

Or:

pro 1

And a user in SirScan can enter sirmon 3.1 on the command line and be transferred directly to the option 1 (Resource Usage) destination of the SirMon main menu option 3 (User Monitor) screen.

PL command

PL is both a special subsystem and a command that lets you directly enter the Procedure List screen in SirPro. The command is like a pro 1 fast-path command combined with procedure-search specifications.

The command format is:

PL [procedurePattern] [FILE filename | GROUP groupname]

where procedurePattern supports the wildcard usage described in Procedure name.

If you do not specify a FILE or GROUP clause, one of the following is used:

  • The current open context. This context is obtained using VIEW APDFCNTX or $view('APDFCNTX') (see the APDFCNTX parameter).
  • The last-visited SirPro procedure list.

Note: To search for procedure names that contain the words "FILE" or "GROUP", use a PL command like the following:

PL File FILE filename

where:

  • File indicates procedures whose name contains the word "File".
  • FILE is required because the context is not automatically added if searching for the words "FILE" or "GROUP".
