If you get Screen def not found message
If you select a product from the MainView Selection Menu panel and get a screen similar to the one shown in the following figure, MainView is probably trying to display a screen definition that does not exist.

To verify that a screen does not exist
- On the COMMAND line, type MVP to display the MainView Parameter Editors menu.
- Select Option 2 - DISPLAY.
Note the screen definition name that appears in the Initial screen field.The problem is that none of the data sets allocated to the DD name BBSDEF contain a member by this name. (BBSDEF was established during customization. It is the DD name for your screen definition library.)
There are three ways to solve this problem:
- Create a screen definition by the same name that is shown in the Initial screen field.
- Make the Initial screen field blank. If you select this method, the MAIN view is displayed by default.
- As a third method, you can also display a customized screen definition for each MainView product upon initialization. To do so, create a screen definition by the same name as the product that you are trying to initialize, as shown in the following table:
For this product
Name the screen definition
MainView for z/OS
MVMVS
CMF MONITOR
CMF
Plex Manager
PLEXMGR
Specify this screen definition name in the Initial screen field.
