Changing the "?" ICON be behave the same way as PF1 for contextual information is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

Thanks for further details. I tried the recommendation and Clicking the "?" Icon takes you to general help, however PF1 does take you to the field help screen I was looking for. I'd like to amend the RFE and ask that an additional ICON be added to the screen that links to the PF1 information or that the "?" ICON be changed to provide the PF1 information. Thanks, Lisa
Hello, I should have explained the issue better. When I'm in any WUI view, I only have the click the Green "?" Icon to see the screen attributes. I've added an example attachment. In CICS Explorer If I click the "?" Icon it takes me to General Editor help. From there I have to know that I need to do a further Search to find what I'm contextually looking for. Thanks, Lisa
Attachment (Description): WUI CSYSDEF Help Screen Example
Hey there, as far as we can see for the example of CSYSDEF, the context help is shown as expected. In fact we thought the context was available for every resource table (although the SIT parameters are different).
For example, I've got the CSYSDEF view open and I choose to open context help (F1 on Windows). Then I click "System Definitions view" in the help panel and the list of attributes is shown. I think it's like this for every view.
If you've got some that are missing please do update us with details of how you're recreating the issue maybe with a screenshot!
Thanks :-)
