Accessing the HELP Facility

To use your HELP facility you must disable the system HELP facility and assign your HELP file to CICAT.PUB.SYS. Create a UDC or User Command to perform these functions easily. To access your HELP facility with the command HELPME, use the following UDC:

     HELPME PARM1=" " PARM2= " " 

     FILE CICAT.PUB.SYS = MYHELP 

     HELP !PARM1 !PARM2 

     RESET CICAT.PUB.SYS 

You can access the HELP in one of two modes: subsystem or immediate. Immediate mode gives you the information on the one or two keywords about which you inquire (for example, HELPME keyword1 keyword2). Keywords are entry, item, or subitem names. You enter the subsystem mode when you call the facility without keywords (for example, HELPME). When in subsystem mode, you enter ALL, EXIT, or a keyword at the greater than (>) prompt.
