You can certainly define the initial/default screen that the user sees on
entry to any SDSF display. Here's a reason NOT to do this. SDSF
occasionally (frequently?) provides new fields or reconfigures old ones in
various ways. If you have coded a fixed display for the user's convenience,
then YOU have to update your specification periodically or else the user
will miss out on new features. Furthermore, if you share the ISFPARMS
definition among systems at different release levels, older releases will
complain about new fields. Or if you maintain multiple ISFPARMS for various
systems, then you have to propagate even simple auth changes.
In other words, while ARRANGE puts some onus on the user initially, life
down the road is sweeter and lighter for everyone. Pay the whole freight up
front, or keep on paying forever.

PF11 is just scrolling to the right (by default). A question mark (?) is
used
to display the alternate screen.
You wrote "primary" screen, but the primary screen just lists options.
For most of the other screens there are primary / secondary display
panels. You can change the primary display to have whatever fields
you wish. For example, if you look at hlq.SISFJCL(ISFPRM00) there
is a sample alternate field list for the DA screen. If you code
DFIELDS(DAFLD2) - as opposed to DFIELD2(DAFLD2), it will be the
primary DA screen.
Another thing you can do is move the fields you want to see (if they
are already there) in view without having to scroll to the right with PF11.
You do this by using the ARRANGE command or the ARRANGE pull
down from the VIEW menu.
HTH,
Mark
