You only need a ZSEL statement if your help panel has options to go to other help panels. For example, if your HELP panel has something like the following then you need a ZSEL statement to determine which help panel to display when option 1 or 2 is selected:
Select one of the following options for additional help: 1 - How do I enter optional parameters 2 - How do I change the panel colours Based on your help panel I don't see any option to go to any other help panels so a ZSEL is not required. > Q). How can I just redisplay my help panel or terminate my menu display by > pressing ENTER? If someone presses ENTER on a help panel that doesn't have a ZSEL, ISPF displays the 'next' tutorial, which is defined using &ZCONT. If &ZCONT isn't defined a default tutorial is displayed. A tutorial shouldn't exit when ENTER is pressed, as this isn't the way tutorials work. If a user wants to exit a tutorial they should press END.
