Note:
Some hidden selections have no Option Key and you cannot add these to a menu.
Access the menu and test the hidden selection.

Note:
JD Edwards World recommends that you browse the CL source prior to making changes and read the note in CL. As most hidden selection jobs receive two parameters, the program in the Job to Execute field must accept two parameters. The system issues the following error message if you customize your source without two parameters: ERROR: 'Cannot resolve to object SELECTxx. Type and Subtype X'0201' Authority X'0000.'
