A Custom Initial Programs

For those of you who have your own company software or other purchased software in addition to JD Edwards World software, you can transfer easily among all of your software environments.

For example, you can create a custom master menu, call JD Edwards World software from that menu as well as call your company software and other purchased software. Then exit JD Edwards World software and return to your custom master menu without redefining your environment.

This appendix contains these topics:

A.1 Create a Custom CL Program

Create a custom CL program, where you must add the library containing the QJDF data area and then call J98INITA.

A.2 Create an IBM Menu Using the STRSDA Command

To establish this CL program as a call from your custom menu:

J98INITA saves your environment parameters. You no longer need to sign off to transfer among library lists or transfer among other software environments.

When using J98INITA, hidden selection 30 takes the user back to the Multiple Library List Selection screen. From there, F3 returns the user to the IBM menu.

The system saves some parameters. They are:

  • System library list (if the user is authorized to the commands)

  • User library list

  • Current library

  • Output queue

  • Local data area
