Interactive entry

Interactive entry allows you to enter commands individually

i5/OS™ provides many menus and displays to allow interactive entry, including the Programmer Menu, the Command Entry display, command prompt displays, and the Programming Development Manager (PDM) Menu. If you use the i5/OS security functions described in Security - ReferenceLink to PDF, your ability to use these displays is controlled by the authority given to you in your user profile. User profiles are generally created and maintained by a system security officer.

A frequently used source entry method is the source entry utility (SEU), which is part of the WebSphere® Development Studio. You can also use the Edit File (EDTF) command to enter or change CL commands in a database source file. However, EDTF does not provide the integrated CL command prompting support that is built into SEU.
