To edit menus:Use the Sub-Menu Maintenance screen to edit a menu. This screen lists the options that display on the menu and identifies the screen, program, report, mass load, or graph to which each option links.
You can delete items from the menu and add new items to the menu. Rearrange items on the menu by deleting an item, inserting a blank line at the new location, and then adding the item on the blank line.
