Copy Menu Structure (ttadv3270m000)

Use this session to copy a menu structure of a main menu to another menu. Submenus of the specified source menu are also copied. Usually this session is used to make a menu structure for a user or for a group of users.

After you enter the package combination, you can specify the menu from which the structure must be copied. The package of this menu must be available in the specified package combination. Next, enter the target menu to which the structure must be copied. New menus are coded with ascending numbers starting from the code of the target menu.

The package VRC of the new menus is equal to the current package VRC. Menus in the source structure, which belong to a package that is not included in the specified package combination, are not copied.

After you define a menu structure for a user, adapt the user's start menu in the session.
