A command table entry can certainly be useful, but we hit a snag some years ago. (Have not retried the construction since.) Suppose you have a local panel reached via A --> B --> C, where panel C has the SELECT for your app, say ISMF. If you type
A.B.C.ISMF your menu select will work one way. But if you are already on the C panel (A.B.C), then typing ISMF is ambiguous. Do you get your panel SELECT option, or do you get the command table entry? The two results may differ depending on how things are coded. Users may not be happy. ;-( . .
