Choose one of the following by number. Then press Enter.

The User Preference Menu is used to set confirmation preferences and selection character preferences.
- Confirmation preferences determine whether OPERTUNE prompts you to confirm commands and deletions.
- Selection-character preferences determine the characters used on various panels to make selections from displayed lists.
The selection-character preferences are grouped into related groups on the User Preference Menu. Some groups share selection characters. Changing a selection character in one group changes the same selection character in all of the groups.
For example, the Selection character is found in the General (Selection character), Profile alteration (select entry), and Data set extents (Select data set) groups. If you change the character in the Data set extents group, the character also changes in the General and Profile alteration groups.
The following table describes preferences set for each option:
