Example of Using Menu Sequence in Function Control Table
Assume that HOLD function will be displayed on the resulting process menu. However we want it to be the first entry on the process menu.
Display on Menu
Function Description process menu SeqHEADER Input order header details YES ____2
Default next function : LINES
Allowable next function : LINES
HOLD Hold order for processing later YES 1____
Default next function : MENU
Allowable next function : MENU
Specifying the 'Menu Sequence' as shown in the above example will cause the function HEADER to be displayed first, and this is not the order that was required.
To ensure that the order is correct when ordering by number, place the digit in the right most part of the field or precede number with zeros.
Display on Menu
Function Description process menu SeqHEADER Input order header details YES 000002
Default next function : LINES
Allowable next function : LINES
HOLD Hold order for processing later YES 000001
Default next function : MENU
Allowable next function : MENU
OR
Use a word that is a combination of alpha characters and numeric characters to determine the ordering of the functions. e.g. A01 ... A10, OPT001 ... OPT010, SEQ001 ... SEQ010, etc...
Display on Menu
Function Description process menu SeqHEADER Input order header details YES OPT002
Default next function : LINES
Allowable next function : LINES
HOLD Hold order for processing later YES OPT001
Default next function : MENU
Allowable next function : MENU
