sing Selection Lists

Use selection lists to create, save, and recall a list of parameters, which can then be entered into a field or report. For example, create and save a list of user IDs on which to run a monthly report for each employee's warehouse productivity.

Use hot keys to access selection lists. The hot key and list name vary, depending on the type of list you are creating and from where you are accessing the list. For example, you are running a report for price lines. The hot key you use to access the selection list is named Price Line. The selection list you access is named Price Line Selection.

When you access a selection list, it can display empty or with a list of items. For example, the screen may list all price lines. In this case, you can modify the list either by deleting the items you do not want or by clearing the entire list and building a new list. You can also use the list as is.

If you create a list, save it with a unique work ID so you can recall it for later use.

To create or edit a selection list:

With your cursor in a field that supports multiple selections, use the hot key that opens the selection screen.
Perform the following, as needed:

To...	Do this...
create a new selection list	For each line, enter a value or press F10 to select an item. To insert a blank line, place the cursor on the line where you want to insert the blank line and press Alt-Insert.
delete single items from a selection list	Place the cursor on the item you want to delete, and press Alt-Delete.
clear all items from a selection list	Use the Clear hot key. At the prompt, confirm the deletion.

Creating a Selection List from a TCL Save-List

On some selection list screens, you can create a selection list from a Terminal Control Language (TCL) save-list.

For example, you import pricing data into a TCL save-list in order to apply that information to a product report. To apply the data, set up the report. From the report, access the selection list screen. On the selection list screen, recall the TCL save-list to create the new selection list. Once the new list is complete, apply it to the report.

To create a selection list from a TCL save-list:

With your cursor in a field that supports multiple selections, use the hot key that opens the selection screen.
Use the Recall hot key to display the Recall Work ID prompt.

At the prompt, enter get-list to display the Enter Saved List prompt.

Note: Not all selection lists support this functionality. If the system does not prompt you with Enter Saved List, you cannot create a selection list from a TCL save-list on this screen.

At the prompt, enter the name of the TCL save-list from which you want to create the selection list.

The system displays the list on the selection screen.

Edit the list, as needed.
Save the list.
Press Esc to return to the previous screen

The system displays *Multi* in the field from where you accessed the selection list, indicating that all items on the selection list are values in the field.
