The Data Menu

This is a system standard Menu that the developer sees when he or she is in DCL. It can also be passed on to users in your application's pulldown menu, but we do not recommend it for the reasons stated below.

The Data Menu is our attempt to pass on a pre-written ad hoc browsing capability. We achieved that up to a certain level, but it is not finished.
It is still pretty buggy so it is not suitable for end users.

But developers use it for simple quick-and-dirty stuff, and since they know it is buggy, they do not have high expectations.

You will know that it is ready for prime time when this help screen changes to a full description of the Data Menu and its capabilities.
