    This is being closed with reference to the sr and gr commands meeting most of the requirement. The reduction of panels won't happen in the foreseeable future.

    UI40447 included an enhancement to save and retrieve all the panel references (SAVEREF(SR)) and GETREF(GR) commands. It doesn't reduce the panel flow , but you only have to use GR to get the saved references and then hit enter on all subsequent panels that will be prefilled.
