SEQUENCE
Description
Specifies the menu sequence number for the session, which is used to order sessions.
This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).
Format
SEQUENCE nnnn
Default: SEQUENCE 0
Usage
To establish the menu sequence number, the usual precedence is used - that is, IBM Session Manager searches these statements in turn:
- User-customized 'priority' sessions set up through the Session List in OLA or the IBM Session Manager Administration Plug-in, identified by the SESSPRI parameter of the USER statement. For further details, refer to the Online and Batch Administration manual.
- USER or TERMINAL.
- PROFILE.
- APPL
(only when the session definition contains a REFAPPL parameter).
Notes:
- This parameter will be ignored for users who have submenus configured.
- Sessions that do not have a sequence number appear on IBM Session Manager menus in session/PF Key order after sessions with a sequence number.
- The IBM Session Manager session variable s_sequence may be used to refer to the value of the menu sequence number for an application session; for details, see the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual.
