Navigating task records
The following figure describes how the transaction navigation hyperlinks work by starting with a typical CTASK view like the one below. For information about the CTASK view, see CTASK-view.
For this example the environment context was set to ALL and the view was accessed by entering CTASK on the COMMAND line. When CTASK is entered by itself there is no selection criteria to apply, and the time frame is the current BMC AMI Ops TIME duration.

The suspend time detail view–CTASKDS–was displayed by hyperlinking on the Suspend Time field. In this instance, task number 42 was used. CTASKDS displays detailed information about a CICS tasks suspend time.
Notice the transaction navigation hyperlinks QM, NF, and PF at left in the following figure.

By using the transaction navigation hyperlinks you can display detailed information about the transaction without first having to return to the CTASK view. Transaction navigation hyperlinks are found on most task views.
Hyperlink on NF (next to Start Date) to display the CTASKDST view for task 42. The CTASKDST view view displays detailed information about a CICS task's use of Storage Control (see the figure below).
If you hyperlink on PF (next to Start TIme), the CTASKDE view showing information about about the task's elapsed time is displayed.

As you can see, the transaction navigation hyperlinks enable you to move back and forth through the record set.
When using the transaction navigation hyperlinks to display detail records, only records with the same target are displayed. If instead of a context of ALL the context was a specific CICS region, records would be displayed in the same order as the tasks are listed in the CTASK view.
