Browsing operation information

When you use the advanced panels (see Panels Style), you can browse, in a single panel, all the information for an operation in your current plan. This browse panel removes the need to go to several different panels to obtain data such as operation status, dependencies, operation times, operation options, and resources.

To open the browsing panel, create a list of your operations as described in Creating a list of operations. From the list, select the operation you want to browse by entering either of the following:

B or S in the Row cmd column next to the operation.
Forward slash (/) in the Row cmd column of the operation (as shown in EQQMOPRV - Enter forward slash to select an operation), and then selecting Browse in the TABLE ROW COMMANDS panel (see EQQSRCLP - Table Row Commands panel).

The browse panel, named OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN, opens, as shown in EQQSOPSD - Operation in the Current Plan panel (showing main information). Scroll down to see all the operation details. The details are categorized into sections. Each section is prefixed by a code so that 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 Dependencies section, type find DEP- at the command prompt.
