The following items should be read and understood before working with shortcuts:
  • Shortcuts are only available through the ASCII interface to CMS .
  • Each user can create a maximum of ten shortcuts.
  • Once a shortcut has started running, it cannot be stopped.
  • Shortcuts can be copied from those created by other users.
  • You cannot exceed your maximum allowable window count by using a shortcut.
  • You cannot create a custom report using a shortcut.
  • When using the Keep mode to record the tasks for a shortcut, the Current Screen-Labeled Key (SLK) will only shift focus between windows in the shortcut window. It will not shift focus to windows that were open before you entered Keep mode.
  • When you create a shortcut, tasks that have errors in them are saved, but they will not execute when the shortcut is run. The task containing the error will display an error message which causes the shortcut to stop. The error must be corrected before the shortcut can run properly. To delete the error, exit the shortcut without saving changes or edit the shortcut if the error has already been saved.
  • Deleting a CMS user who owns shortcuts results in those shortcuts also being deleted.
