Browsing an application
From the LIST OF APPLICATIONS panel (EQQNALSL), enter B or S in the Row command column next to an application to browse its description and corresponding data. Alternatively, you can enter forward slash (/) in the Row command column of the application, and then enter 1 to select Browse in the TABLE ROW COMMANDS panel. The APPLICATION IN THE DATABASE panel (EQQNABGP) opens. This panel is scrollable down and to the right, with each part of the panel providing various types of information (see EQQNABGP - Browsing the application description in the database (part 1)).
The first part of the panel shows the basic information such as the application status, valid dates, type, owner, and so on.
By scrolling down, you can see information about the latest updates to the data and the run cycles data.
By scrolling down even further, you see the list
of operations in the application. The Run Cycles section, and all
of the sections that follow, are prefixed by a number so you can easily
jump to the required section using the find command, without
having to scroll through each section. For example, to quickly display
the Operations section, type find 2-
at the command
prompt.
The APPLICATION IN THE DATABASE panel (EQQNABGP) has a menu bar that allows you to perform tasks without browsing away from the panel. The menu bar has the following three menus:
- Action

next to the action or by entering, in the primary command line, the
