Putting a dclerk user directly on indexB

    A user has requested that I take them straight into the index B (part
number) prompt when they go into their inventory file.  The XiB option on
dclerk *almost* does what they want.  Unfortunately, after they find the
first record by part number, they usually need to return to the Choose
Record Operation menu, rather than be locked into the B index.  

    Is there any PF system variable that will do this?

     Right now, I have to make separate inquire operations on several of my
menus so that the users can go into the same file by using different
indexes.  In addition, I always have to make a choice of "Choose Record
Operation". 

    I think I'm going to make a wish-list item similar to the "Press F7 for
last index entry" that says, "Press F8 to return to the Choose Operation
Menu".

   Before I submit this to the wish list, would this break too many menus
for the rest of the people on this list?  I know there must be menus where
some of you don't want the users to get out of a certain index for security
reasons.

Thanks,

Mike Schwartz
